Vivere est cogitare. (To think is to live)
I will adhere to the counsels of good men, although misfortune and death should be the consequence.
To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?
I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know.
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time.
A friend is, as it were, a second self.
