Power exercised with violence has seldom been of long duration.

A man can refrain from wanting what he has not and cheerfully make the best of a bird in the hand.

The sun shines even on the wicked.

Fate rules the affairs of men, with no recognizable order.

To want simply what is enough nowadays suggests to people primitiveness and squalor.

We should conduct ourselves not as if we ought to live for the body, but as if we could not live without it.

Brother, the Great Spirit has made us all. . . . .
