No man ever became wise by chance.

The entire world would perish, if pity were not to limit anger.

Unjust rule does not last forever.

Nothing is more disgraceful than that an old man should have nothing to show to prove that he has lived long, except his years.

We should live as if we were in public view, and think, too, as if someone could peer into the inmost recesses of our hearts-which someone can!

No emotion falls into dislike so readily as sorrow.

The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
