If fame is to come only after death, I am in no hurry for it.
The virtuous man is never a novice in worldly things.
A good man enlarges the term of his own existence.
He who prefers to give Linus the half of what he wishes to borrow, rather than to lend him the whole, prefers to lose only the half.
To the ashes of the dead glory comes too late.
I do not hate the man, but his vices.
