Steven Nadler Quote

A man who is guided by reason will have strength of character. He hates no one, is angry with no one, envies no one, is indignant with no one, scorns no one, and is not at all proud; he will avoid whatever he thinks is troublesome and evil, and moreover, whatever seems immoral, dreadful, unjust and dishonorable
