We should be as careful of our words as of our actions, and as far from speaking ill as from doing ill |
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth; as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue |
We think a happy life consists in tranquillity of mind. |
We were born to unite with our fellow men, and to join in community with the human race |
What is becoming in behavior is honorable, and what is honorable is becoming |
What is more agreeable than one's home? |
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine. |
What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation? |
What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk. |
What then is freedom ? The power to live as one wishes |
What times! What habits! |
Whatever befalls in accordance with nature should be accounted good |
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light; but notwithstanding this, |
Whatever that be which thinks, understands, wills, and acts. it is something celestial and divine. |
Whatever you do, do with all your might |
