A feeble body weakens the mind.

We lose all that time which we might employ better.

That man is truly free who desires what he is able to perform, and does what he desires.

Laws are always useful to those who possess and vexatious to those who have nothing.

All that time is lost which might be better employed.

The indifference of children towards meat is one proof that the taste for meat is unnatural; their preference is for vegetable foods...Beware of changing this natural taste and making children flesh-eaters, if not for their health's sake, for the sake of their character; for how can one explain away the fact that great meat-eaters are usually fiercer and more cruel than other men; this has been recognised at all times and in all places.

I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices.
