I look upon the pleasure which we take in a garden as one of the most innocent delights in human life. . . It gives us a great insight into the contrivance and wisdom of Nature, and suggests innumerable subjects for meditation.
We should be as careful of our words as of our actions.
A s laws multiply, injustice increases.
No sane man will dance.
There is no mortal whom pain and disease do not reach.
Rashness belongs to youth; prudence to old age.
