You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometimes fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
It is not enough to aim; you must hit.
If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.
We should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe.
Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.
Now we were descending just as steeply.
You should not live one way in private, another in public.
