"The truth is the best physic."

"The man who is wise is not he who has much knowledge, but he who has the right knowledge."

"The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only thing that makes one happy is to love and be loved."

"Everyone is taught to fear death, but no one to escape it."
