Men live best upon a little; Nature has given to all the privilege of being happy, if they but knew how to use their gifts.
Nature has given the opportunity of happiness to all, knew they but how to use it.
Whoever desires is always poor.
Lust, forgetful of future suffering, hurries us along the forbidden path.
Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence.
The best manners are stained by haughtiness.
