We have been born under a monarchy; to obey God is freedom.

We learn not for life but for the debating-room.

We most often go astray on a well-trodden and much frequented road.

We need someone, I say, on whom our character may mould itself: you’ll never make the crooked straight without a ruler.

We never reflect how pleasant it is to ask for nothing.

We should conduct ourselves not as if we ought to live for the body, but as if we could not live without it.

Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool.

What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.

What does reason demand of a man? A very easy thing--to live in accord with his nature.

What nature requires is obtainable, and within easy reach. It’s for the superfluous we sweat.
