Over all the mountain tops is peace.

All men would be masters of others, and no man is lord of himself.

One ought, everyday, to hear a song, read a fine poem, and, if possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

To live as one likes is plebian the noble man aspires to order and law.

The iron hand of necessity commands, and her stern decree is supreme law, to which the gods even must submit. In deep silence rules the uncounselled sister of eternal fate. Whatever she lays upon thee, endure; perform whatever she commands.

Everything is hard before it is easy.

A man's errors are what make him amiable.
