It is more reverent to believe in the works of the Deity than to comprehend them.
The gods are on the side of the stronger.
Kindness, so far as we can return it, is agreeable.
Candor and generosity, unless tempered by due moderation, leads to ruin.
Benefits received are a delight to us as long as we think we can requite them; when that possibility is far exceeded, they are repaid with hatred instead of gratitude.
It is the rare fortune of these days that one may think what one likes and say what one thinks.
