Nature has placed his own happiness in each man's hands, if he only knew how to use it.
The best manners are stained by haughtiness.
Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence.
Luxury, that alluring pest with fair forehead, which, yielding always to the will of the body, throws a deadening influence over the senses, and weakens the limbs more than the drugs of Circe's cup.
Whoever desires is always poor.
Nature has granted to all to be happy, if we did but know how to use her benefits.
