The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the governed.
He gets through too late who goes too fast.
We should lay up in peace what we shall need in war.
The most delightful pleasures cloy without variety.
Each succeeding day is the scholar of that which went before it.
A kindness spontaneously offered to him who needs it, is doubly gratifying.
