Health is the soul that animates all the enjoyments of life, which fade and are tasteless without it.
Whereas a prolonged life is not necessarily better, a prolonged death is necessarily worse.
Genius always gives its best at first; prudence, at last.
It is never too late to learn what is always necessary to know.
Courage leads to heaven; fear leads to death.
He that does good to another does good also to himself.
