Nature is satisfied with little; and if she is, I am also.

Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.

Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.

As though God had turned away from the wise, and written his decrees, not in the mind of man but in the entrails of beasts, or left them to be proclaimed by the inspiration and instinct of fools, madmen, and birds. Such is the unreason to which terror can drive mankind!

Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear.

Pride is pleasure arising from a man's thinking too highly of himself.
