To live a better life,--this surely can be done.

Some have asked if the stock of men could not be improved,--if they could not be bred as cattle. Let Love be purified, and all therest will follow. A pure love is thus, indeed, the panacea for all the ills of the world.

The lover wants no partiality. He says, Be so kind as to be just.

As if there were safety in stupidity alone

We soon get through with nature. She excites an expectation which she cannot satisfy.

We are happy in proportion to the things we can do without.

Objects of charity are not guests.
