What day is so festal it fails to reveal some theft?

Hold it the greatest wrong to prefer life to honor and for the sake of life to lose the reason for living.

Some men make money not for the sake of living, but ache In the blindness of greed and live just for their fortune's sake.

Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.

The brief span of our poor unhappy life to its final hour Is hastening on; and while we drink and call for gay wreaths, Perfumes, and young girls, old age creeps upon us, unperceived.

The greatest reverence is due to a child! If you are contemplating a disgraceful act, despise not your child's tender years.

Now we suffer the woes of long peace. Luxury, more savage Than war, has smothered us, avenging the world we ravage.

Look round the habitable world: how few Know their own good, or knowing it, pursue.

Of the woes Of unhappy poverty, none is more difficult to bear Than that it heaps men with ridicule.

Seldom do people discern Eloquence under a threadbare cloak.
