Virtue is its own reward.
The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give everyone else his due.
What is dishonorably got, is dishonorably squandered.
We cannot employ the mind to advantage when we are filled with excessive food and drink.
Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.
It is exercise alone that supports the spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor.
