To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and while it is true that the suicide braves death he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.
Ah lives of men! When prosperous they glitter - Like a fair picture when misfortune comes - A wet sponge at one blow has blurred the painting.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
It is good even for old men to learn wisdom.
Of prosperity mortals can never have enough.
Men always makes gods in their own image.
The only laws a man can truly respect are the ones he makes for himself.
Any man who has the brains to think and the nerve to act for the benefit...
