***************
Virtue is a vice
when it wears the mask of God’s
common dominion
***************
All nature is a
recognition of art’s gift
to adversity
***************
Labor injures the
mind; its only remedy
is the shrift of gold
***************
Hatred impairs one’s
self-respect, but vengeance is
fortune’s great favor
***************
Be silent, and if
you can’t be silent know that
we’re not listening
***************
Consult a madman
on all things and steer in a
favorable wind
***************
A fool knows not that
recognizable order
is never maintained
***************
Deny admittance
to the passions and life is
onerous solace
***************
The infirmity
of language shrivels before
the terror of law
***************
Live among men as
if you are unable to
bear humanity
***************
