Enough is abundance to the wise.

I have found power in the mysteries of thought, exaltation in the changing of the Muses; I have been versed in the reasonings of men; but Fate is stronger than anything I have known.

There is nothing like the sight of an old enemy down on his luck.

No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.

To generous souls every task is noble.

It is a good thing to be rich and strong, but it is a better thing to be loved.

Worse than a true evil is it to bear the burden of faults that are not truly yours.
