To marvel at nothing is just about the one and only thing, Numicius, that can make a man happy and keep him that way.

He possesses dominion over himself, and is happy, who can every day say, "I have lived." Tomorrow the heavenly father may either involve the world in dark clouds, or cheer it with clear sunshine, he will not, however, render ineffectual the things which have already taken place.

Be not caught by the cunning of those who appear in a disguise.

All else-valor, a good name, glory, everything in heaven and earth-is secondary to the charm of riches.

Faults are committed within the walls of Troy and also without. [There is fault on both sides.]

No, but you're wrong now, and always will be.

A leech that will not quit the skin until sated with blood.
