A free soul ought not to pursue any study slavishly, for nothing that is learned under compulsion stays with the mind.

Every action has its pleasures and its price.

Our lives are but specks of dust falling through the fingers of time. Like sands of the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and actions, but those who kindly reprove thy faults.

How many things are there which I do not want.
