Time puts an end to speculation in opinions, and confirms the laws of nature.
True nobility is exempt from fear.
Like readily consorts with like.
Would that I could discover truth as easily as I can uncover falsehood.
All I can do is to urge on you to regard friendship as the greatest thing in the world; for there is nothing which so fits in with our nature, or is so exactly what we want in prosperity or adversity.
In all matters, before beginning, a diligent preparation should be made.
