There is no castle so strong that it cannot be overthrown by money.

Our span of life is brief, but is long enough for us to live well and honestly.

The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.

A letter does not blush.

Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow

Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.

Life is short, but art lives forever.
