He that by harshness of nature rules his family with an iron hand is as truly a tyrant as he who misgoverns a nation.
He who repents of having sinned is almost innocent.
He, who decides a case without hearing the other side, though he decides justly, cannot be considered just.
The foundation of the true joy is in the conscience.
The person you are matters more than the place to which you go.
Let me therefore live as if every moment were to be my last.
