Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.
Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind.
What society does to its children, so will its children do to society.
No one sees what is before his feet: they scan the tracks of heaven.
Who can love the man he fears. or by who he thinks he is himself feared?
As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.
