The abode of God, too, is wherever is earth and sea and air, and sky and virtue. Why further do we seek the Gods of heaven? Whatever thou dost behold and whatever thou dost touch, that is Jupiter.

The prosperous man does not know whether he is loved.

He is covered by the heavens who has no sepulchral urn.

An idle life always produces varied inclinations.

Thus each person by his fears gives wings to rumor, and, without any real source of apprehension, men fear what they themselves have imagined.

Neither side is guiltless if its adversary is appointed judge.
