Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun.
Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.
A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.
When time and need require, we should resist with all our might, and prefer death to slavery and disgrace.
It is difficult to set bounds to the price unless you first set bounds to the wish.
