Dare to begin! He who postpones living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.
Who has courage to say no again and again to desires, to despise the objects of ambition, who is a whole in himself, smoothed and rounded.
We are all gathered to the same fold.
He will be beloved when he is no more.
There is nothing assured to mortals.
If you study the history and records of the world you must admit that the source of justice was the fear of injustice.
