Lenity is a part of justice; but she must not speak too loud for fear of waking justice.
The mind conceives with pain, but it brings forth with delight.
Moderation consists in being moved as angels are moved.
The essence of life consists in thinking, and being conscious of one's soul.
Let us have justice, and then we shall have enough liberty!
He who cannot see the beautiful side is a bad painter, a bad friend, a bad lover; he cannot lift his mind and his heart so high as goodness.
