Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss.
It is greed to do all the talking but not to want to listen at all.
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
It is hard to fight against anger: to master it is the mark of a rational man.
Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.
Life unexamined, is not worth living.
