Quarrels never could last long, if on one side only lay the wrong.

Men's minds do not die with their bodies but are made more happy or miserable after this life according to their actions.

Presumption first blinds a man, then sets him a running.

Pain wastes the Body, Pleasures the Understanding.

Here is my Creed. I believe in one God, creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshiped. That the most acceptable service we render him is doing good to his other children. That the soul of Man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this.

Take heed of the Vinegar of sweet Wine, and the Anger of Good-nature.

Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
