I often feel, and ever more deeply I realize, that Fate and character are the same conception.

die ich immer mehr errathe, je tiefer ich einsehe, das Schicksal und Gemüth Namen Eines Begriffs sind.

Another quote from the 1800s

Some degree of abuse is inseparable from the proper use of every thing; and in no instance is this more true, than in that of the press. It has accordingly been decided by the practice of the States, that it is better to leave a few of its noxious branches to their luxuriant growth, than by pruning them away, to injure the vigor of those yielding the proper fruits.

Another quote about Character

There are a set of religious, or rather moral writers, who teach that virtue is the certain road to happiness, and vice to misery, in this world. A very wholesome and comfortable doctrine, and to which we have but one objection, namely, that it is not true.
