A sword never kills anybody; it is a tool in the killer's hand.
A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.
We should every night call ourselves to an account;
What infirmity have I mastered today?
What passions opposed? What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired? Our vices will abort of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
As long as you live, keep learning how to live.
If you live in harmony with nature you will never be poor; if you live according what others think, you will never be rich.
People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.
Often a very old man has no other proof of his long life than his age.
If anyone says that the best life of all is to sail the sea, and then adds that I must not sail upon a sea where shipwrecks are a common occurrence and there are often sudden storms that sweep the helmsman in an adverse direction, I conclude that this man, although he lauds navigation, really forbids me to launch my ship.
There is no genius without a touch of madness.
It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.
