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?

Let us bear with magnanimity whatever it is needful for us to bear.

Death is a release from and an end of all pains.

That which takes effect by chance is not an art.

There is none made so great, but he may both need the help and service, and stand in fear of the power and unkindness, even of the meanest of mortals.

We are all sinful. Therefore whatever we blame in another we shall find in our own bosoms.

We are at best but stewards of what we falsely call our own; yet avarice is so insatiable that it is not in the power of liberality to content it.
