The brave man is not only he who overcomes the enemy, but he who is stronger than pleasures. Some men are masters of cities, but are enslaved to women.

Happiness does not reside in strength or money; it lies in rightness and many-sidedness.

To speak but little becomes a woman; and she is best adorned who is in plain attire.

Men should strive to think much and know little.
