Whatever necessity lays upon thee, endure; whatever she commands, do.

It's true that nothing in this world makes us so necessary to others as the affection we have for them.

To hard necessity ones will and fancy must conform.

The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.

It is in human nature to relax, when not compelled by personal advantage or disadvantage.

The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
