He that visits the sick in hopes of a legacy, but is never so friendly in all other cases, I look upon him as being no better than a raven that watches a weak sheep only to peck out its eyes.

Life is a play.It's not its length,but its performance that counts.

We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.

Let him that hath done the good office conceal it; let him that received it disclose it.

Injustice never rules forever.

A good character is the only guarantee of everlasting, carefree happiness.

Nature does not bestow virtue; to be good is an art.
