1. "Nothing can bring peace but yourself": brought up in conversation saying that it is you and only you that can give yourself peace. So it begins with us and every individual on this planet if we desire that peace. In other words, we will never be happy with life if we cannot be happy with our fateful circumstances and ourselves.
2. "What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think." After what Cerenity had said about "Nothing can bring peace but yourself" Peter found this quote that was similar in what the first quote was signifying. And so this quote was added on to that first one to justify that people must do what they want to do in life if that is what pleases them. And when they find the courage to stray of the common path of man they must disregard the comments of those around them because ultimately you'll get remarks no matter what.
3. "We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents.": In my interpretation I believe this to be very true for many. Because sometimes we can be hanging around others and that makes us timid and only makes us show a side of us when really we are built with multiple and brilliant sides of our character.
4. "Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright.": So it is that to this day people do not fight for what they believe in because they are fearful of what others think of them. And so we just tend to follow what everyone else is doing which is really unfortunate, but it is the hurtful truth.
5. "Meantime nature is not slow to equip us in the prison-uniform of the party to which we adhere." This quote goes to demonstrate how we have been compared to prisoners being guarded up. How we are quick to fall into the trap of continuous trends, therefore, we have locked ourselves up without even noticing it.
