I hope that the memory of our friendship will be everlasting.

Politicians are not born; they are excreted.

In friendship we find nothing false or insincere; everything is straight forward, and springs from the heart.

Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.

Vivere est cogitare. (To think is to live)

Each part of life has its own pleasures. Each has its own abundant harvest, to be garnered in season. We may grow old in body, but we need never grow old in mind and spirit. No one is as old as to think he or she cannot live one more year.

Time destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature.
