Well-arranged time is the surest mark of a well-arranged mind. — Pitman.
He who governs his tongue is perfectly able to control all his passions. — Charming.
A degraded passion is the parent of an untrue judgment; the beast can never discern the fair outlines of the temple of truth ; he looks at the temple and sees the ugly gargoyles everywhere.
