The mind does not easily unlearn what it has been long in learning.
Be not too hasty either with praise or blame; speak always as though you were giving evidence before the judgement-seat of the Gods.
Democracy is more cruel than wars or tyrants.
Delay not; swift the flight of fortune's greatest favours.
They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn.
The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself; the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.
