The proper study of a wise man is not how to die but how to live.

He who wishes to revenge injuries by reciprocal hatred will live in misery. But he who endeavors to drive away hatred by means of love, fights with pleasure and confidence; he resists equally one or many men, and scarcely needs at all the help of fortune. Those whom he conquers yield joyfully

Hatred which is completely vanquished by love passes into love: and love is thereupon greater than if hatred had not preceded it.

Nature offers nothing that can be called this man's rather than another's; but under nature everything belongs to all.

It may easily come to pass that a vain man may become proud and imagine himself pleasing to all when he is in reality a universal nuisance.

God is not He who is, but That which is.

Hatred is increased by being reciprocated, and can on the other hand be destroyed by love.
