In doing nothing men learn to do evil.

Do not expect good from another's death.

I would not be beholden to a tyrant, for his acts of tyranny. For it is but usurpation in him to save, as their rightful lord, the lives of men over whom he has no title to reign.

Blessed be they as virtuous, who when they feel their virile members swollen with lust, visit a brothel rather than grind at some husband's private mill.

The best way to keep good acts in memory is to refresh them with new.

Regard not dreams, since they are but the images of our hopes and fears.

I think the first wisdom is to restrain the tongue.
