When a wise man chooses a sane basis for his arguments, it is no great task to speak well.
This is true liberty, when free-born men, having to advise the public, may speak free.
Enough is abundance to the wise.
Life is a short affair; We should try to make it smooth, and free from strife.
Gods should not resemble men in their anger!
It is in adversity that the good show their friendship most clearly; prosperity always finds friends.
