Logic works, metaphysics contemplates.

Some superior minds are unrecognized because there is no standard by which to weigh them.

The Bible remained for me a book of books, still divine - but divine in the sense that all great books are divine which teach men how to live righteously.

The mind conceives with pain, but it brings forth with delight.

Of what delights are we deprived by our excesses!

We should do good whenever we can and do kindness at all times, for at all times we can.

In order to be happy, think of the ills you have been spared.
