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.

The wise man who has become accustomed to necessities knows better how to share with others than how to take from them, so great a treasure of self-sufficiency has he found.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

To eat and drink without a friend is to devour like the lion and the wolf.
