Many would be wise if they did not think themselves wise.

Nothing is good for him for whom nothing is bad.

Harness the imagination, for she is the whole of happiness.

Be first the master of yourself

Wise men appreciate all men, for they see the good in each and know how hard it is to make anything good.

There is no beauty unaided, no excellence that does not sink to the barbarous, unless saved by art.

There is no need to show your ability before everyone.
