It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken.
A man becomes a friend whenever being loved he loves in return.
Neither old people nor sour people seem to make friends easily; for there is little that is pleasant in them.
People generally despise where they flatter.
A man is his own best friend; therefore he ought to love himself best.
The pleasures arising from thinking and learning will make us think and learn all the more. 1153a 23
