  • The greatest wisdom is to make the enjoyment of the present the supreme object of life; because that is the only reality, all else being merely the play of thought. On the other hand, such a course might just as well be called the greatest folly: for that which in the next moment exists no more, and vanishes utterly, like a dream, can never be worth a serious effort.

  • If people insist that honor is dearer than life itself, what they really mean is that existence and well-being are as nothing compared with other people's opinions.
