A pessimist and an optimist, so much the worse; so much the better.
The fastidious are unfortunate; nothing satisfies them.
Our condition never satisfies us; the present is always the worst. Though Jupiter should grant his request to each, we should continue to importune him.
Is not moderation an old refrain Ringing in our ears? from which we all refrain.
He knoweth the universe, and himself he knoweth not.
A cheerful mind is a vigorous mind.
