Personality

An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value

Some people reach the age of sixty before others

A perfect tragedy is the noblest production of human nature

A true teacher defends his students against his own personal influences

Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg

One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star

Personality is only ripe when a man has made the truth his own.

Female personality is insubstantiality ennobled by unconsciousness

Most men of education are more superstitious than they admit - nay, than they think

Some men are like nails, very easily drawn; others however are more like rivets never drawn at all.

Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks

Fortune doesn't change a man, it only unmasks him.

To each saint his candle

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Imagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public.

Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us; footprints on the sands of time.
