"It is fortunate to be of high birth, but it is no less so to be of such character that people do not care to know whe…" — Jean de La Bruyère

You must have the bird in your heart before you can find it in the bush.

We are like chameleons, we take our hue and the color of our moral character, from those who are around us.

An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards

In this world, a man must either be anvil or hammer

The greatest firmness is the greatest mercy

The Kingdom of Heaven is not a place, but a state of mind
