In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men.
I have always been of the opinion that unpopularity earned by doing what is right is not unpopularity at all, but glory.
Would that I could discover truth as easily as I can uncover falsehood.
Our minds possess by nature an insatiable desire to know the truth.
True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.
Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.
