Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man; his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.

Some men spend their whole life furnishing for themselves the things proper to life without realizing that at our birth each of us was poured a mortal brew to drink.

Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.

He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing .

Neither one should hesitate about dedicating oneself to philosophy when young, nor should get tired of doing it when one's old, because no one is ever too young or too old to reach one's soul's healthy.

Men are so thoughtless, nay, so mad, that some, through fear of death, force themselves to die.

Live your life without attracting attention.
