To always be intending to live a new life, but never to find time to set about it; this is as if a man should put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day and night to another, till he is starved and destroyed.
To be able to bear provocation is an argument of great reason, and to forgive it of a great mind.
The crafty person is always in danger; and when they think they walk in the dark, all their pretenses are transparent.
