Our Span Of Life Is Brief, But

I Have Always Been Of The Opinion That Unpopularity Earned By Doing What Is Right Is Not Unpopularity At All, But Glory.

There Is Nothing So Charming As The Knowledge Of Literature; Of That Branch Of Literature, I Mean, Which Enables Us To Discover The Infinity Of Things, The Immensity Of Nature, The Heavens, The Earth, And The Seas; This Is That Branch Which Has Taught Us Religion, Moderation, Magnanimity, And That Has Rescued The Soul From Obscurity; To Make Her See All Things Above And Below, First And Last, And Between Both; It Is This That Furnishes Us Wherewith To Live Well And Happily, And Guides Us To Pass Our Lives Without Displeasure And Without Offence.

Prosperity Demands Of Us More Prudence And Moderation Than Adversity.

Life Is Nothing Without Friendship.

Every One Is Least Known To Himself, And It Is Very Difficult For A Man To Know Himself.
