Modesty forbids what the law does not.

Freedom can't be bought for nothing. If you hold her precious, you must hold all else of little worth.

You have to persevere and fortify your pertinacity until the will to good becomes a disposition to good.

We are born subjects, and to obey God is perfect liberty. He that does this shall be free, safe and happy.

A man who examines the saddle and bridle and not the animal itself when he is out to buy a horse is a fool; similarly, only an absolute fool values a man according to his clothes, or according to his position, which after all is only something we wear like clothing.

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
