I am a Roman citizen.

Studies are the food of youth, the delight of old age; the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity; a delight at home, and no hindrance abroad; they are companions by night, and in travel, and in the country.

All action is of the mind and the mirror of the mind is the face, its index the eyes.

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.

The cultivation of the mind is a kind of food supplied for the soul of man.

How much in love with himself, and that too without a rival!

The wise man never loses his temper.
