May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.

It is the superfluous things for which men sweat.

What were once vices are the fashion of the day.

Why do people not confess vices? It is because they have not yet laid them aside. It is a waking person only who can tell their dreams.

Believe me, that was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders.

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.

There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.

As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.

A man who suffers before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary.

What was hard to suffer is sweet to remember.
