What a vile and abject thing is man if he do not raise himself above humanity.

To be enslaved to oneself is the heaviest of all servitudes.-

Speech is the mirror of the mind.

If I only have the will to be grateful, I am so.

You cannot, I repeat, successfully acquire it and preserve your modesty at the same time.

Let ease and rest at times be given to the weary.

What were once vices are the fashion of the day.
