Nothing Is So Unbelievable That Oratory Cannot

We Make Allowance For Necessity.

Promises Are Not To Be Kept, If The Keeping Of Them Is To Prove Harmful To Those To Whom You Have Made Them.

That Which Leads Us To The Performance Of Duty By Offering Pleasure As Its Reward, Is Not Virtue, But A Deceptive Copy And Imitation Of Virtue. [lat., Nam Quae Voluptate, Quasi Mercede Aliqua, Ad Officium Impellitur, Ea Non Est Virtus Sed Fallax Imitatio Simulatioque Virtutis.]

If A Man Could Mount To Heaven And Survey The Mighty Universe, His Admiration Of Its Beauties Would Be Much Diminished Unless He Had Someone To Share In His Pleasure.

The Long Time To Come When I Shall Not Exist Has More Effect On Me Than This Short Present Time, Which Nevertheless Seems Endless.
