“Never does Nature say one thing and Wisdom another.”

Luxury is more deadly than any foe.

No one rejoices more in revenge than woman.

There is nothing worse than words of kindness that lie.

Who will watch the watchers?

Give up all hope of peace so long as your mother-in-law is alive.

It is not easy for men to rise whose qualities are thwarted by poverty.

Dare to do things worthy of imprisonment if you mean to be of consequence.

Now we suffer the evils of a long peace; luxury more cruel than war broods over us and avenges a conquered world.

Bad men hate sin through fear of punishment; good men hate sin through their love of virtue.

If you are capable of submitting to insult you ought to be insulted.

Writing in the incurable itch that possesses many.

Many individuals have, like uncut diamonds, shining qualities beneath a rough exterior.

All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price.

It is but the weak and little mind that rejoices in revenge

The wise man sets bounds even to his innocent desires.

Whenever fortune wishes to joke, she lifts people from what is humble to the highest extremity of affairs.

I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory.

I feel like people always wanna define me and I don’t wanna be defined.

If you cannot trust yourself, you cannot even trust your mistrust of yourself – so that without this underlying trust in the whole system of nature you are simply paralyzed

Look around. Look at what we have. Beauty is everywhere, you only have to look to see it.

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.

Nothing ever truly dies. The universe wastes nothing, everything is simply transformed.

Everyone will someday be judged for what they do, and Jah is the only judge.

Nature loves to hide.
