If God adds another day to our life, let us receive it gladly.

We are at best but stewards of what we falsely call our own; yet avarice is so insatiable that it is not in the power of liberality to content it.

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.

It is the mind that makes us rich and happy, in what condition soever we are, and money signifies no more to it than it does to the gods.

No man can live happily who regards himself alone, who turns everything to his own advantage. Thou must live for another, if thou wishest to live for thyself.

If you wish another to keep your secret, first keep it to yourself.

The man who does something under orders is not unhappy; he is unhappy who does something against his will.
