I seemed to have nothing left to live for.
A night's sleep, the sovereign remedy for the smaller vexations of life, had no effect on it.
Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so.
But the time came when I awakened from this as from a dream.
Between subjection to the will of others and the virtues of self-help and self-government there is a natural incompatibility.
He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that
Even the commonest men reserve the violent, the sulky, the undisguisedly selfish side of their character for those who have no power to withstand it.
A man who is morose or violent to his equals, is sure to be one who has lived among inferiors, whom he could frighten or worry into submission.
