Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only.

Academic and aristocratic people live in such an uncommon atmosphere that common sense can rarely reach them.

Christ and The Church: If he were to apply for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty, adultery and desertion, he would probably get one.

If life must not be taken too seriously, then so neither must death.

God cannot alter the past, though historians can.

Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.

I do not mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy.
