For example, the tiny ant, a creature of great industry, drags with its mouth whatever it can, and adds it to the heap which she is piling up, not unaware nor careless of the future.

I abhor the profane rabble and keep them at a distance.

There is no such thing as perfect happiness.

What may not be altered is made lighter by patience.

When we try to avoid one fault, we are led to the opposite, unless we be very careful.

Not to create confusion in what is clear, but to throw light on what is obscure.

Remember to be calm in adversity.
