Better wilt thou live...by neither always pressing out to sea nor too closely hugging the dangerous shore in cautious fear of storms.
Not to create confusion in what is clear, but to throw light on what is obscure.
In times of stress, be bold and valiant.
I abhor the profane rabble and keep them at a distance.
Nothing is achieved without toil.
Who has courage to say no again and again to desires, to despise the objects of ambition, who is a whole in himself, smoothed and rounded.
