Simple is the language of truth.

That which has been endured with difficulty is remedied with delight.

So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.

No man is free who is a slave to the flesh.

There is no greater punishment of wickedness that that it is dissatisfied with itself and its deeds.

A great, a good, and a right mind is a kind of divinity lodged in flesh, and may be the blessing of a slave as well as of a prince: it came from heaven, and to heaven it must return; and it is a kind of heavenly felicity, which a pure and virtuous mind enjoys, in some degree, even upon earth.

It is not goodness to be better than the worst.
