Gentle time will heal our sorrows.

Reason is God's crowning gift to man.

Ignorant men do not know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away.

Heap up great wealth in your house, if you wish, and live as a tyrant, but, if the enjoyment of these things be lacking, I would not buy the rest for the shadow of smoke as against happiness.

When you can prove me wrong, then call me blind.

Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.

I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.
