What fervent love of herself would Virtue excite if she could be seen!
It is our own evil thoughts which madden us.
To be content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches.
Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
Let every man practise the trade which he best understands.
All pain is either severe or slight, if slight, it is easily endured; if severe, it will without doubt be brief.
