Their long years together had shown him that it did not so much matter if marriage was a dull duty, as long as it kept the dignity of a duty: lapsing from that, it became a mere battle of ugly appetites. Looking about him, he honoured his own past, and mourned for it. After all, there was good in the old ways.

It is better to live alone than to have a fool for a companion.

We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.

The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.

Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man; his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.

If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.

The time when most of you should withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.
