Since we are mortal, friendships are best kept to a moderate level, rather than sharing the very depths of our souls.
Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad.
Men honor property above all else; it has the greatest power in human life.
The same man cannot well be skilled in everything; each has his special excellence.
Bodies devoid of mind are as statues in the market place.
Human excellence means nothing Unless it works with the consent of God.
