Full of men, vacant of friends.
God is near you, is with you, is inside you.
No one can have a peaceful life who thinks too much about lengthening it.
Life is long if it is full.
Poverty needs much, avarice everything.
I will have a care of being a slave to myself, for it is a perpetual, a shameful, and the heaviest of all servitudes; and this may be done by moderate desires.
