John Petit-Senn

The true worth of a soul is revealed as much by the motive it attributes to the actions of others as by its own deeds.

Where talent is a dwarf, self-esteem is a giant.

True courage is like a kite; a contrary wind raises it higher.

Nothing for preserving the body like having no heart.

Let us believe neither half of the good people tell us of ourselves, nor half the evil they say of others.

We tire of those pleasures we take, but never of those we give.
