You may complete as many generations as you please during your life; none the less will that everlasting death await you.

Whenever anything changes and quits its proper limits, this change is at once the death of that which was before.

The nature of the universe has by no means been made through divine power, seeing how great are the faults that mar it.

There is so much wrong with the world. (tanta stat praedita culpa)

So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds.

So it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off, reality remains.

From the very fountain of enchantment there arises a taste of bitterness to spread anguish amongst the flowers.
