Tranquil Pleasure Constitutes Human Beings' Supreme Good

Riches Do Not Exhilarate Us So Much With Their Possession As They Torment Us With Their Loss.

We Begin Every Act Of Choice And Avoidance From Pleasure, And It Is To Pleasure That We Return Using Our Experience Of Pleasure As The Criterion Of Every Good Thing.

There Is No Such Thing As Justice In The Abstract; It Is Merely A Compact Between Men In Their Various Relations With Each Other, In Whatever Circumstances They May Be, That They Will Neither Injure Nor Be Injured.

The Fool, With All His Other Faults, Has This Also, He Is Always Getting Ready To Live.

Natural Wealth Is Limited And Easily Obtained; The Wealth Defined By Vain Fancies Is Always Beyond Reach.
