    Sacrifice   Love Is   Men  
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Illustrated)”, p.2499, Delphi Classics

How cheap a price for the good will of another!

  • It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual.

    Lying   Mean   Vices  
    Thomas Jefferson, John Dewey (2008). “The Essential Jefferson”, p.81, Courier Corporation

    Drinking   Bed   Rising  
    William James (2012). “The Principles of Psychology”, p.122, Courier Corporation

    Men   Self   Stronger  
    Augusta Jane Evans (1860). “Beulah”, p.272
