“Misery and pride. 'On horseback, death and a peacock'.”
“Pride counterbalances all these miseries; man either hides or displays them, and glories in his awareness of them.”
“Dying was misery. Death was that period at the end of the sentence.”
“The Christians are right: it is Pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began.”
“She is a peacock in everything but beauty!”
“This is a great fact: strength is life; weakness is death. Strength is felicity, life eternal, immortal; weakness is constant strain and misery, weakness is death.”
