A happy life is one which is in accordance with its own nature.

For the great benefits of our being- our life, health, and reason-we look upon ourselves.

It is the sign of a great mind to dislike greatness, and prefer things in measure to things in excess.

No evil is without its compensation ... it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss, that troubles us.

The mind is slow to unlearn what it learnt early.

Unhappy is the man, though he rule the world, who doesn't consider himself supremely blessed.

Nothing is our except time.
