The truest end of life is to know the life that never ends.

Avoid flatterers, for they are thieves in disguise.

But make not more business necessary than is so; and rather lessen than augment work for thyself.

Levity of behavior, always a weakness, is far more unbecoming in a woman than a man.

There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom.

Never despise what you don't understand.

Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.
