I do not teach. I relate.

There is a plague on Man, the opinion that he knows something.

Adrian, the Emperor, exclaimed incessantly, when dying, "That the crowd of physicians had killed him."

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than it was because he was he, and I was I.

If I can, I shall keep my death from saying anything that my life has not already said.

There is power in ambition, pleasure in luxury...but envy can gain nothing but vexation.

Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own.
