“A few vices are sufficient to darken many virtues.” — Plutarch

It were better to have no opinion of God at all than such a one as is unworthy of him; for the one is only belief - the other contempt.

For to err in opinion, though it be not the part of wise men, is at least human.

When the strong box contains no more both friends and flatterers shun the door.

In words are seen the state of mind and character and disposition of the speaker.
