Virtue proceeds through effort.

In adverse hours the friendship of the good shines most; each prosperous day commands its friends.

I know indeed what evil I intend to do, but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury, fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils.

Our ancestors... purged their guilt by banishment, not death. And by so doing, they stopped that endless vicious cycle of murder and revenge.

Do not consider painful what is good for you.
