In Society One Needs A Flexible Virtue;

Rest Assured That There Is Nothing Which Wounds The Heart Of A Noble Man More Deeply Than The Thought His Honour Is Assailed.

There Is No Fate More Distressing For An Artist Than To Have To Show Himself Off Before Fools, To See His Work Exposed To The Criticism Of The Vulgar And Ignorant.

All Extremes Does Perfect Reason Flee, And Wishes To Be Wise Quite Soberly.

Man's Greatest Weakness Is His Love For Life.

Nothing Can Be Fairer, Or More Noble, Than The Holy Fervor Of True Zeal.
