This life is only a prelude to eternity.
Consider an enemy may become a friend.
No possession is gratifying without a companion.
Lightning will wreck its displeasures not only upon pillars, trees, and sheep, but upon altars and temples, and let the sacrilegious go free.
Courage leads to heaven; fear leads to death.
There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money; luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures; ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.
