It seems that God took away the minds of poets that they might better express His.
The universe really is motion & nothing else.
Why should we pay so much attention to what the majority thinks?
To move the world we must move ourselves.
Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be, all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.
