The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.

Once you have done a man a service, what more reward would you have? Is it not enough to have obeyed the laws of your own nature, without expecting to be paid for it?

Whoever values peace of mind and the health of the soul will live the best of all possible lives.

No one wearies of benefits received.

Men are born for each other's sake, so either teach people or endure them
