Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.
Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
Pride that dines on vanity, sups on contempt.
Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease.
