No one dies too soon who has finished the course of perfect virtue.

Hunger is the best sauce.

There is no quality I would rather have, and be thought to have, than gratitude. For it is not only the greatest virtue, but is the mother of all the rest.

Man's life is ruled by fortune, not by wisdom.

Let each man have according to his deserts.

Exile is terrible to those who have, as it were, a circumscribed habitation; but not to those who look upon the whole globe but as one city.

A man has no enemy worse than himself.
