To please great men is not the last degree of praise.
Never inquire into another man's secret; bur conceal that which is intrusted to you, though pressed both be wine and anger to reveal it.
Strength without judgment falls by its own weight.
Let the character as it began be preserved to the last; and let it be consistent with itself.
I hate the irreverent rabble and keep them far from me.
Leave the rest to the gods.
