• A menudo pienso que todas las dificultades que encontramos sólo nos dan más fuerza si nos mantenemos firmes en nuestro trabajo, y no debemos rendirnos ahora que estamos en la flor de la vida. Es mejor seguir intentándolo, y tarde o temprano llegará la oportunidad. Si nos hemos rendido, no estaremos preparados para cuando llegue.

• It is the fate of most men who mingle with the world, and attain even the prime of life, to make many real friends, and lose them in the course of nature. It is the fate of all authors or chroniclers to create imaginary friends, and lose them in the course of art. Nor is this the full extent of their misfortunes; for they are required to furnish an account of them besides.

• If Montaigne is a man in the prime of life sitting in his study on a warm morning and putting down the sum of his experience in his rich, sinewy prose, then Pascal is that same man lying awake in the small hours of the night when death seems very close and every thought is heightened by the apprehension that it may be his last.

• But me, not destined such delights to share,
  My prime of life in wandering spent and care;
  Impell'd, with steps unceasing, to pursue
  Some fleeting good, that mocks me with the view
  That, like the circle bounding earth and skies,
  Allures from far, yet, as I follow, flies;
  My fortune leads to traverse reams alone,
  And find no spot of all the world my own.

• I call'd the devil, and he came, And with wonder his form did I closely scan; He is not ugly, and is not lame, But really a handsome and charming man. A man in the prime of life is the devil, Obliging, a man of the world, and civil; A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate, He talks quite glibly of church and state.

• Tan lejos estamos, por lo general, de pensar lo que a menudo decimos de la brevedad de la vida, que en el momento en que ésta es necesariamente más corta, formamos proyectos que tardamos en ejecutar, nos complacemos en expectativas que nada más que la sucesión de los acontecimientos puede gratificar, y permitimos que se apoderen de nosotros esas pasiones que sólo son excusables en la flor de la vida.
