What is a child? Ignorance. What is a child? Want of instruction.

What is yours is to play the assigned part well. But to choose it belongs to someone else

And have you not received faculties which will enable you to bear all that happens to you? Have you not received greatness of spirit? Have you not received courage? Have you not received endurance?

Liars are the cause of all the sins and crimes in the world.

The universe is but one great city, full of beloved ones, divine and human, by nature endeared to each other.

It is better to advise than upbraid, for the one corrects the erring; the other only convicts them.

Anything worth putting off is worth abandoning altogether.
