Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.

Philosophy is the health of the mind.

If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.

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

Reasons for anxiety will never be lacking, whether born of prosperity or of wretchedness; life pushes on in a succession of engrossments. We shall always pray for leisure.

You must live for another if you wish to live for yourself.

A good person dyes events with his own color . . . and turns whatever happens to his own benefit.
