The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.

Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun.

Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness.

Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well used brings happy death.
