Fame is but an inscription on a grave, and glory the melancholy blazon on a coffin lid.
A brave soul is a thing which all things serve.
One never hugs one's good luck so affectionately as when listening to the relation of some horrible misfortunes which has overtaken others.
A single soul is richer than all the worlds.
To have to die is a distinction of which no man is proud.
It is a characteristic of pleasure that we can never recognize it to be pleasure till after it is gone.
