“Beyond what we wishand what we fear may happenwe have another life,as clear and free as a mountain stream.”

“Joy is a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.”

“A gentleman is calm and spacious: the vulgar are always fretting.”

“O Master, make me chaste, but not yet!”

“Restraint never ruins one's health.”

“I would fain keep sober always; and there are infinite degrees of drunkenness.”
