We suffer more in imagination than in reality.
When one is friend on himself, also is friend of everybody.
Nature does not bestow virtue; to be good is an art.
The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.
We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.
So live with an inferior as you would wish a superior to live with you.
