The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.
All art is but imitation of nature.
The soul has this proof of divinity: that divine things delight it.
Let him that hath done the good office conceal it; let him that received it disclose it.
The mind makes the nobleman, and uplifts the lowly to high degree.
Those whom fortune has never favored are more joyful than those whom she has deserted.
