"I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?"

Life

"And so there is no reason for you to think that any man has lived long because he has grey hairs or wrinkles, he has not lived long " he has existed long. For what if you should think that man had had a long voyage who had been caught by a fierce storm as soon as he left harbour, and, swept hither and thither by a succession of winds that raged from different quarters, had been driven in a circle around the same course? Not much voyaging did he have, but much tossing about."

Life

"Night brings our troubles to the light rather than banishes them."

Reflection

"If you are surprised at the number of our maladies count our cooks."

Humor

"True happiness is to understand our duties toward God and man to enjoy the present without anxious dependence on the future not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have which is abundantly sufficient."

Happiness

"It's not that we have little time, but more that we waste a good deal of it."

Time

"It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so, we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully."

Time

"Believe me if you consult philosophy she will persuade you not to lit so long at your counting desk."

Philosophy

"Failure changes for the better success for the worse."

Success

"It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested. But when it is squandered in luxury and carelessness, when it is devoted to no good end, forced at last by the ultimate necessity we perceive that it has passed away before we were aware that it was passing."
