When we have not the strength or the courage to grasp a new truth, we persuade ourselves that it is not a truth at all.
We shrink from the contemplation of our dead bodies, forgetting that when dead they are no longer ours, and concern us as little as the hairs that have fallen from our heads.
Make thyself perfect; others, happy.
The innocence which is simply ignorance is not virtue.
