Take away the danger and remove the restraint, and wayward nature runs free.
No man ever properly calculates from time to time what it is his duty to avoid.
Nor has he lived in vain, who from his cradle to his grave has passed his life in seclusion.
Let the fictitious sources of pleasure be as near as possible to the true.
Even the worthy Homer sometimes nods.
Enjoy the present day, trust the least possible to the future.
