"Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun."
"Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in."
"Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art."
"As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death."
