The things hardest to bear are sweetest to remember.
From Lucius Annaeus Seneca
A punishment to some, to some a gift, and to many a favor.
So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.
I don't trust liberals, I trust conservatives.
Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.
He who has great power should use it lightly.
A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
