The tendency of humanity is towards the forbidden.

Enjoy thankfully any happy hour heaven may send you, nor think that your delights will keep till another year.

Little folks become their little fate.

Those who seek for much are left in want of much. Happy is he to whom God has given, with sparing hand, as much as is enough.

The work you are treating is one full of dangerous hazard, and you are treading over fires lurking beneath treacherous ashes.

The mob may hiss me, but I congratulate myself while I contemplate my treasures in their hoard.

Pry not into the affairs of others, and keep secret that which has been entrusted to you, though sorely tempted by wine and passion.
