The covetous man is always poor.
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.
The best manners are stained by haughtiness.
Liberty begets license.
Nature has placed his own happiness in each man's hands, if he only knew how to use it.
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.
