We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.
Every adversity has the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.
All the papers that matter live off their advertisements, and the advertisers exercise an indirect censorship over news.
Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.
A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.
