The man who consecrates his hours by vigorous effort, and an honest aim, at once he draws the sting of life and Death; he walks with nature; and her paths are peace.

A prince indebted is a fortune made.

Less base the fear of death than fear of life.

A friend is worth all hazards we can run.

By all means use some time to be alone.

In youth, what disappointments of our own making: in age, what disappointments from the nature of things.

Affliction is a good man's shining time.
