The suffering may be moral or physical; and in my opinion it is just as absurd to call a man a coward who destroys himself, as to call a man a coward who dies of a malignant fever.

It is natural to man to regard himself as the final cause of creation.

Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

No matter what one says, you can recognize only those matters that are equal to you. Only rulers who possess extraordinary abilities will recognize and esteem properly extraordinary abilities in their subjects and servants.

As our inclinations, so our opinions.

Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.

You are, when all is done-just what you are.
