There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.
Let us cherish and love old age; for it is full of pleasure, if you know how to use it. The best morsel is reserved for last.

No man is free who is a slave to the flesh.
No good thing is pleasant without friends to share it.
The true felicity of life is to be free from anxieties and pertubations; to understand and do our duties to God and man, and to enjoy the present without any serious dependence on the future.
