Study carefully, the character of the one you recommend, lest their misconduct bring you shame.

I know not any season of life that is past more agreeably than virtuous old age.

Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.

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.

Always the same thing.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception.
