It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more, that is poor.

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.

Philosophy is the health of the mind.

It passes in the world for greatness of mind, to be perpetually giving and loading people with bounties; but it is one thing to know how to give and another thing not to know how to keep. Give me a heart that is easy and open, but I will have no holes in it; let it be bountiful with judgment, but I will have nothing run out of it I know not how.

You must live for another if you wish to live for yourself.
