We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles.
Death is the cure for all diseases.
Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.
All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.
The long habit of living indisposeth us for dying.
This reasonable moderator, and equal piece of justice, Death.
Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.
The vices we scoff at in others laugh at us within ourselves.
As reason is a rebel to faith, so passion is a rebel to reason.
I am the happiest man alive. I have that in me that can convert poverty to riches, adversity to prosperity, and I am more invulnerable than Archilles; Fortune hath not one place to hit me.
To believe only possibilities is not faith, but mere philosophy.
Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude, and the society of thyself.
