The Happier The Moment The Shorter.

Let Honor Be To Us As Strong An Obligation As Necessity Is To Others.

It Is Ridiculous To Suppose That The Great Head Of Things, Whatever It Be, Pays Any Regard To Human Affairs.

Our Civilization Depends Largely On Paper.

Compassion And Shame Come Over One Who Considers How Precarious Is The Origin Of The Proudest Of Living Beings: Often The Smell Of A Lately Extinguished Lamp Is Enough To Cause A Miscarriage. And To Think That From Such A Frail Beginning A Tyrant Or Butcher May Be Born! You Who Trust In Your Physical Strength, Who Embrace The Gifts Of Fortune And Consider Yourself Not Their Ward But Their Son, You Who Have A Domineering Spirit, You Who Consider Yourself A God As Soon As Success Swells Your Breast, Think How Little Could Have Destroyed You!

As For The Garden Of Mint, The Very Smell Of It Alone Recovers And Refreshes Our Spirits, As The Taste Stirs Up Our Appetite For Meat.
