Friendship embraces innumerable ends; turn where you will it is ever at your side; no barrier shuts it out; it is never untimely and never in the way.

The well-known old remark of Cato, who used to wonder how two soothsayers could look one another in the face without laughing.

Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.

Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.

Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.

There is nothing more shocking than to see assertion and approval dashing ahead of cognition and perception.

Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself; you will never err if you listen to your own suggestions.
