Live your life without attracting attention.

To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.

All other love is extinguished by self-love; beneficence, humanity, justice, philosophy, sink under it.

Any device whatever by which one frees himself from the fear of others is a natural good.

If death causes you no pain when you're dead, it is foolish to allow the fear of it to cause you pain now.

Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.

Thanks be to blessed Nature that she has made what is necessary easy to obtain, and what is not easy unnecessary.
