It is a good instinct if you don't distort it and pervert it. Don't give it up. Keep feeling the need for being important. Keep feeling the need for being first. But I want you to be the first in love. I want you to be the first in moral excellence. I want you to be the first in generosity.

Everyone thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.

Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health.
