A Man Should Not Play The Coward

The Lie Is A Condition Of Life.

"what Is Good?" Ye Ask. To Be Brave Is Good. Let The Little Girls Say: "to Be Good Is What Is Pretty, And At The Same Time Touching."

Every Man Is A Creative Cause Of What Happens, A Primum Mobile With An Original Movement.

Blessed Are The Forgetful: For They Get The Better Even Of Their Blunders.

Examine The Life Of The Best And Most Productive Men And Nations, And Ask Yourselves Whether A Tree Which Is To Grow Proudly Skywards Can Dispense With Bad Weather And Storms. Whether Misfortune And Opposition, Or Every Kind Of Hatred, Jealousy, Stubbornness, Distrust, Severity, Greed, And Violence Do Not Belong To The Favourable Conditions Without Which A Great Growth Even Of Virtue Is Hardly Possible?
