There are many roads to happiness, if the gods assent.
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
May God grant me love for that which has splendor; but in this time of my life let me strive for attainable things.
To be envied is a nobler fate than to be pitied.
The present will not long endure.
O my soul, do not aspire to immortal life, but exhaust the limits of the possible.
