The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.

An irreligious man is not one who denies the gods of the majority, but one who applies to the gods the opinions of the majority. For what most men say about the gods are not ideas derived from sensation, but false opinions, according to which the greatest evils come to the wicked, and the greatest blessings come to the good from the gods.

Let nothing be done in your life, which will cause you fear if it becomes known to your neighbor.

Don't fear god, Don't worry about death; What is good is easy to get, and What is terrible is easy to endure

He who says either that the time for philosophy has not yet come or that it has passed is like someone who says that the time for happiness has not yet come or that it has passed.

The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live.

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