All men have one refuge, a good friend, with whom you can weep and know that he does not smile.

The good man makes others good.

Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado.

Of all wild beasts on earth or in sea, the greatest is a woman.

Nothing has happened to you unless you make much of it.

If you want to live your whole life free from pain you must become either a god or else a corpse. Consider other men's troubles and that will comfort you.

The character of a man is known from his conversations.
