Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.

How ridiculous not to flee from one's own wickedness, which is possible, yet endeavor to flee from another's which is not.

The passing minute is every man's equal possession but what has once gone by is not ours.

...the infallible man does not exist.

The offender needs pity, not wrath; those who must needs be corrected, should be treated with tact and gentleness; and one must be always ready to learn better. 'The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.'

The whole contains nothing that is not for its advantage. By remembering that I am part of such a whole, I shall be content with everything that happens.

Every instant of time... is a pinprick of eternity.
