Life is long if you know how to use it.

It is dishonorable to say one thing and think another; how much more dishonorable to write one thing and think another.

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.

It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly.

It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.

No one can have a peaceful life who thinks too much about lengthening it.

The things which we hold in our hands, which we see with our eyes, and which our avarice hugs, are transitory, they may be taken from us by ill luck or by violence; but a kindness lasts even after the loss of that by means of which it was bestowed; for it is a good deed, which no violence can undo.
