"Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are" — Søren Aabye Kierkegaard

I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle

Our ideals are our better selves

Debate is masculine, conversation is feminine

The man, most man, works best for men: and, if most man indeed, he gets his manhood plainest from his soul

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble

Nothing is more amiable than true modesty, and nothing more contemptible than the false
