Courage leads to heaven; fear leads to death.

You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?

Not a soul takes thought how well he may live- only how long: yet a good life might be everybody's, a long one can be nobody's.

The voice is nothing but beaten air.

All things are cause for either laughter or weeping.

You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.

Straightforwardness and simplicity are in keeping with goodness.
