Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke

All weaknesses are just fabrications of mind. If I am not happy with myself, how can you make me happy? It takes time to see that my unhappiness stems from myself and not from you.

Madame de Sévigné, Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, marquise de Sévigné

Nothing is more certain of destroying any good feeling that may be cherished towards us than to show distrust. To be suspected as an enemy is often enough to make a man become so; the whole matter is over, there is no farther use of guarding against it.

In gratitude for your good fortune, you must render in return some sacrifice of your own life for another life.

Avraham-Haim Shag, born Avraham-Haim Tzvebner

Such a person is dependent on other people his enter life and will frequently suffer humiliation.
