The Works Of Nature Must All Be

Thou Shouldst Eat To Live; Not Live To Eat. [lat., Esse Oportet Ut Vivas, Non Vivere Ut Edas.]

Time Destroys The Speculation Of Men, But It Confirms Nature.

The Most Evident Difference Between Man And Animals Is This: The Beast, In As Much As It Is Largely Motivated By The Senses And With Little Perception Of The Past Or Future, Lives Only For The Present. But Man, Because He Is Endowed With Reason By Which He Is Able To Perceive Relationships, Sees The Causes Of Things, Understands The Reciprocal Nature Of Cause And Effect, Makes Analogies, Easily Surveys The Whole Course Of His Life, And Makes The Necessary Preparations For Its Conduct.

Friendship Is The Only Thing In The World Concerning The Usefulness Of Which All Mankind Are Agreed.
