As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one; so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it; so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.

To be feared is to fear. No one has been able to strike terror into others and at the same time enjoy peace of mind.

They who have light in themselves will not revolve as satellites.

Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!

What view is one likely to take of the state of a person's mind when his speech is wild and incoherent and knows no constraint?

The man who thinks only of his own generation is born for few.

Never to wrong others takes one a long way towards peace of mind.
