The sick are the greatest danger for the healthy; it is not from the strongest that harm comes to the strong, but from the weakest.

At times, our strengths propel us so far forward we can no longer endure our weaknesses and perish from them.

''To give style'' to one's character -- a great and rare art! He exercises it who surveys all that his nature presents in strength and weakness and then moulds it to an artistic plan until everything appears as art and reason, and even the weaknesses delight the eye.
