We are too prone to find fault; let us look for some of the perfections.

An honest man you may form of windle-straws, but to make a rogue you must have grist.

Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.

The world's history is constant, like the laws of nature, and simple, like the souls of men. The same conditions continually produce the same results.

Youth covets; let not this covetousness seduce you.

Let no one despair, even though in the darkest night the last star of hope may disappear.

Truth lives on in the midst of deception.
