It is a world of mischief that may be done by a single example of avarice or luxury. One voluptuous palate makes many more.

To make a commencement requires a mental effort.

What nature requires is obtainable, and within easy reach. It is for the superfluous we sweat.

We have been born under a monarchy; to obey God is freedom.

No one can keep a mask on long.

A dwarf can stand on a mountain, he's no taller.

There's no delight in owning anything unshared.
