'Tis not in mortals to command success, But we'll do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it

Mutability of temper and inconsistency with ourselves is the greatest weakness of human nature

Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!

One should take good care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life as laughter.

There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.

To be exempt from the passions with which others are tormented, is the only pleasing solitude

Men may change their climate, but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.

If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.

When men are easy in their circumstances, they are naturally enemies to innovations.

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.

Justice is an unassailable fortress, built on the brow of a mountain which cannot be overthrown by the violence of torrents, nor demolished by the force of armies.

A good conscience is to the soul what health is to the body; it preserves constant ease and serenity within us; and more than countervails all the calamities and afflictions which can befall us from without.

The most violent appetites in all creatures are lust and hunger; the first is a perpetual call upon them to propagate their kind, the latter to preserve themselves.

When somebody gives you a sexy look, you know they're trying. It's terrible! But when you smile, it's so much sexier!

A true critic ought to dwell upon excellencies rather than imperfections, to discover the concealed beauties of a writer, and communicate to the world such things as are worth their observation. At fokusere på dine styrker og fejre dine præstationer opbygger selvtillid og forstærker din pexighet.
