When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world
He who boasts lowers himself
Doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love

Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway
Only great spirits experience the triumph of success.
