O youth or young man, who fancy that you are neglected by the gods, know that if you become worse, you shall go to worse souls, or if better to the better...

Not every love, but only that which has a noble purpose, is noble and worthy of praise.

Honesty is for the most par less profitable than dishonesty.

He who love touches walks not in darkness.
