Qui sait tout souffrir peut tout oser. - Luc de Clapiers, marquis de Vauvenargues

We are very wrong to think that some fault or other can exclude virtue, or to consider the alliance of good and evil as a monstrosity or an enigma.

He who knows how to suffer everything can risk everything.

When we are convinced of some great truths, and feel our convictions keenly, we must not fear to express it, although others have said it before us. Every thought is new when an author expresses it in a manner peculiar to himself.
