“If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a horrible warning.”
When you write, you bleed a little piece of your soul onto the page.
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
The important thing is not what one is born with, but what they do with the gift of life.
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.
Any of us can achieve virtue, if by virtue we merely mean the avoidance of the vices that do not attract us.
