The Fool’s Life Is Empty Of Gratitude

A Strong Belief In Fate Is The Worst Kind Of Slavery; On The Other Hand, There Is A Comfort In The Thought That God Will Be Moved By Our Prayers.

Those Desires That Do Not Bring Pain If They Are Not Satisfied Are Not Necessary; And They Are Easily Thrust Aside Whenever To Satisfy Them Appears Difficult Or Likely To Cause Injury.

Thanks Be To Blessed Nature That She Has Made What Is Necessary Easy To Obtain, And What Is Not Easy Unnecessary.

We Cannot Live Pleasantly Without Living Wisely And Nobly And Righteously.

My Garden Does Not Whet The Appetite; It Satisfies It. It Does Not Provoke Thirst Through Heedless Indulgence, But Slakes It By Proffering Its Natural Remedy. Amid Such Pleasures As These Have I Grown Old.
