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

No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.

No man will swim ashore and take his baggage with him.

We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?

It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.

There is no person so severely punished, as those who subject themselves to the whip of their own remorse.

Nothing is our except time.
