Every great mind seeks to labor for eternity. All men are captivated by immediate advantages; great minds alone are excited by the prospect of distant good.
He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.
He who considers too much will perform little.
To rankling poison hast thou turned in me the milk of human kindness.
If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.
The world's history is the world's judgment.
