What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing--to live in accord with his nature.
Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool.
Where reason fails, time oft has worked a cure.
We most often go astray on a well-trodden and much frequented road.
Unjust dominion cannot be eternal.
The path of precept is long, that of example short and effectual.
To be always fortunate, and to pass through life with a soul that has never known sorrow, is to be ignorant of one half of nature.
The mind is slow to unlearn what it learnt early.
The most onerous slavery is to be a slave to oneself.
The arts are the servant; wisdom its master.
