It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen that is the common right of humanity.

Happy he whoe'er, content with the common lot, with safe breeze hugs the shore, and, fearing to trust his skiff to the wider sea, with unambitious oar keeps close to the land.

Let us ask what is best - not what is customary. Let us love temperance - let us be just - let us refrain from bloodshed.

What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown away.

People do not die - they kill themselves.

Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.

In the meantime, cling tooth and nail to the following rule: not to give in to adversity, not to trust prosperity, and always take full note of fortune's habit of behaving just as she pleases.
