Yes great people are always subject to persecution and always getting into straits.

Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.

Posterity weaves no garlands for imitators.

A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.

It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.

Truth exists for the wise, beauty for the feeling heart.
