All Pain Is Either Severe Or Slight,

If I Am Mistaken In My Opinion That The Human Soul Is Immortal, I Willingly Err; Nor Would I Have This Pleasant Error Extorted From Me; And If, As Some Minute Philosophers Suppose, Death Should Deprive Me Of My Being, I Need Not Fear The Raillery Of Those Pretended Philosophers When They Are No More.

Time Puts An End To Speculation In Opinions, And Confirms The Laws Of Nature.

Care Must Be Taken That The Punishment Does Not Exceed The Offence.

What Is Becoming Is Honest, And Whatever Is Honest Must Always Be Becoming.

You Might As Well Take The Sun Out Of The Sky As Friendship From Life: For The Immortal Gods Have Given Us Nothing Better Or More Delightful.
