No evil is without its compensation.

Virtue with some is nothing but successful temerity.

Anyone can stop a man's life, but no one his death; a thousand doors open on to it.

For greed, all nature is too little.

True happiness is...to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.

The miserable are sacred.
