Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them. A true friend is one soul in two bodies
Friendship is a thing most necessary to life, since without friends no one would choose to live, though possessed of all other advantages.
Happiness is a quality of the soul...not a function of one's material circumstances.
Through discipline comes freedom.
Our characters are the result of our conduct.
. . . the man is free, we say, who exists for his own sake and not for another's.
