The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.

He has spent his life best who has enjoyed it most. God will take care that we do not enjoy it any more than is good for us.

Be virtuous and you will be vicious.

The function of vice is to keep virtue within reasonable bounds.

Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo not for a man.

If we attend continually and promptly to the little that we can do, we shall ere long be surprised to find how little remains that we cannot do.

Life is not an exact science, it is an art.
