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

While we wait for life, life passes

Whatever we give to the wretched, we lend to fortune.

Man is a social animal.

We are sure to get the better of fortune if we do but grapple with her.

No man enjoys the true taste of life, but he who is ready and willing to quit it.

For what else is Nature but God and the Divine Reason that pervades the whole universe and all its parts.
