Who does not know history's first law to be that an author must not dare to tell anything but the truth? And its second that he must make bold to tell the whole truth? That there must be no suggestion of partiality anywhere in his writings? Nor of malice?

I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.

Who doesn't know that the first law of history is not to dare to say anything false, and the second is not to refrain from saying anything true?

Leisure with dignity.

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

There is no being of any race who, if he finds the proper guide, cannot attain to virtue.

No sober person dances.
