How many people become abstract as a way of appearing profound.

Criticism even should not be without its charms. When quite devoid of all amenities, it is no longer literary.

There is always some frivolity in excellent minds; they have wings to rise, but also stray.

Lenity is a part of justice; but she must not speak too loud for fear of waking justice.

Our life is woven wind.

Be saving, but not at the cost of all liberality. Have the soul of a king and the hand of a wise economist.

The soul that is the abode of chastity acquires an energy which enables her to surmount with ease the obstacles that lie along the path of duty.
