Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.

Injustice is not evil in itself, but only in the fear and apprehension that one will not escape those who have been set up to punish the offense.

Happiness is man's greatest aim in life. Tranquility and rationality are the cornerstones of happiness.

If the gods have the will to remove evil and cannot, then they are not all-powerful. If they are neither able nor willing, they are neither all-powerful or benevolent. If they are both able and willing to annihilate evil, why does it exist?

Riches do not exhilarate us so much with their possession as they torment us with their loss.

There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.

There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men.
