The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another's heart.

I follow nature as the surest guide, and resign myself with implicit obedience to her sacred ordinances.

I am a Roman citizen.

Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.

Not to know what happened before you were born is to be a child forever. For what is the time of a man, except it be interwoven with that memory of ancient things of a superior age?

I cheerfully quit from life as if it were an inn, not a home; for Nature has given us a hostelry in which to sojourn, not to abide.

Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits; old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.
