Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
Sense shines with double lustre when set in humility.
Rarely promise, but, if lawful, constantly perform.
It were happy if we studied nature more in natural things; and acted according to nature, whose rules are few, plain, and most reasonable.
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
The humble, meek, merciful, and just are everywhere of one religion; and when death has taken off the mask they will know one another, though the diverse liveries they wear here make them strangers.
