Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.

I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.
Affliction’s sons are brothers in distress; A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
Dare to be honest and fear no labor.
There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.
Suspicion is a heavy armor and with its weight it impedes more than it protects.
And there begins a lang digression about the lords o’ the creation.
Let them cant about decorum, Who have characters to lose!
Firmness in enduring and exertion is a character I always wish to possess. I have always despised the whining yelp of complaint and cowardly resolve.
The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, and violets bathe in the wet o’ the morn.
