Time takes away the grief of men.

• The desire to write grows with writing.
• The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.
• When I get a little money I buy books and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
• Your library is your paradise.
• War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it.
• It is wisdom in prosperity, when all is as thou wouldn't have it, to fear and suspect the worst.
• When I get a little money I buy books and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
• It is the chiefest point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is.
• If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.
• To know nothing is the happiest life.
