There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
From Lucius Annaeus Seneca
A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.
A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts.
No man enjoys the true taste of life, but he who is ready and willing to quit it.
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
Every reign must submit to a greater reign.
Successful and fortunate crime is called virtue.
No untroubled day has ever dawned for me.
The deferring of anger is the best antidote to anger.
