 Five enemies of peace inhabit with us / avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.

 How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.

 It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one. Fortune bestows the one, merit obtains the other.

 Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the
holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart of life, and is prophetic of eternal good.


 Man has no greater enemy than himself.

 Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together

 Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure

 Suspicion is the cancer of friendship.

 To be able to say how much you love is to love but little

 True, we love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness.

 Who naught suspects is easily deceived.

 Who over-refines his argument brings himself to grief

 All pleasure in the world is a passing dream.
