We cannot live pleasantly without living wisely and nobly and righteously.
Let no one delay the study of philosophy while young nor weary of it when old.
The honor paid to a wise man is a great good for those who honor him.
Death is meaningless to the living because they are living, and meaningless to the dead… because they are dead.
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.
The greater the Difficulty the more Glory in surmounting it, and the loss of false Joys secures to us a much better Possession of real ones.
