The mind is never right but when it is at peace within itself; the soul is in heaven even while it is in the flesh, if it be purged of its natural corruptions, and taken up with divine thoughts, and contemplations.

I am not born from a single place. My country is the whole world.

Life is long if it is full.

No good thing is pleasant without friends to share it.

Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it.

There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it; none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.

Injustice never rules forever.
