To subdue one's self and return to propriety, is perfect virtue.
“The wise are free from perplexities; the virtuous from anxiety; and the bold from fear.”
“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”
“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.”
— Seneca
“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?”
— George Eliot
