There is nothing so extreme that is not allowed by the custom of some nation or other.

We trouble our life by thoughts about death, and our death by thoughts about life.

Every one rushes elsewhere and into the future, because no one wants to face one's own inner self.

The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.

We only labor to stuff the memory, and leave the conscience and the understanding unfurnished and void.

There is no passion so much transports the sincerity of judgment as doth anger

He who falls obstinate in his courage, if he falls he fights from his knees.
