The absolute good is not a matter of opinion but of nature.

The wise man never loses his temper.

More law, less justice.

These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity; they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad; they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits.

I prefer the wisdom of the uneducated to the folly of the loquacious.

Let a man practice the profession which he best knows.

The divinity who rules within us, forbids us to leave this world without his command.
