When Man Discovered The Mirror,

The Term Suicide Is Applied To All Cases Of Death Resulting Directly Or Indirectly From A Positive Or Negative Act Of The Victim Himself, Which He Knows Will Produce This Result

Man's Characteristic Privilege Is That The Bond He Accepts Is Not Physical But Moral; That Is, Social. He Is Governed Not By A Material Environment Brutally Imposed On Him, But By A Conscience Superior To His Own, The Superiority Of Which He Feels. Because The Greater, Better Part Of His Existence Transcends The Body, He Escapes The Body's Yoke, But Is Subject To That Of Society.

The Man Whose Whole Activity Is Diverted To Inner Meditation Becomes Insensible To All His Surroundings. His Passions Are Mere Appearances, Being Sterile. They Are Dissipated In Futile Imaginings, Producing Nothing External To Themselves.

When Mores Are Sufficient, Laws Are Unnecessary. When Mores Are Insufficient, Laws Are Unenforceable.

It Is Too Great Comfort Which Turns A Man Against Himself. Life Is Most Readily Renounced At The Time And Among The Classes Where It Is Least Harsh.
