Saving the virtues includes all other advantages

It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.

History is truely the witness of times past, the light of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.

We are all excited by the love of praise, and the noblest are most influenced by glory.

For if that last day does not occasion an entire extinction, but a change of abode only, what can be more desirable? And if it, on the other hand, destroys and absolutely puts an end to us, what can be preferable to having a deep sleep fall on us in the midst of the fatigues of life and, being thus overtaken, to sleep to eternity?

Our liberality should not exceed our ability.

That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
