Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind, as that though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body, or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together, the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he.

There is no such thing as perpetual tranquility of mind while we live here.

It's not the pace of life I mind. It's the sudden stop at the end.
