Life is short and art is long.

An old man at school is a contemptible and ridiculous object.

No man finds it difficult to return to nature except the man who has deserted nature.

All my life I have been seeking to climb out of the pit of my besetting sins and I cannot do it and I never will unless a hand is let down to draw me up.

It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.

The miserable are sacred.

Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
