Such are the heights of wickedness to which men are driven by religion.
Fear is the mother of all gods.
Tis pleasant to stand on shore and watch others labouring in a stormy sea.
So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds.
Were a man to order his life by the rules of true reason, a frugal substance joined to a contented mind is for him great riches; for never is there any lack of a little.
Yet a little while, and (the happy hour) will be over, nor ever more shall we be able to recall it.
