Thoughts there are, that need no embodying, no form, no expression. It is enough to hint at them vaguely; a word, and they are heard and seen.
Speech is but the incorporation of thought.
We use up in the passions the stuff that was given us for happiness.
Pleasures are always children, pains always have wrinkles.
Of the two, I prefer those who render vice lovable to those who degrade virtue.
Happy is the man who can do only one thing; in doing it, he fulfills his destiny.
