Those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself deserve the title of Philosophers.
The soul of man is immortal and imperishable.
There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain.
The philosopher is in love with truth, that is, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion, but with the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge.
A work well begun is half-ended.
A good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death, and his affairs are not neglected by the gods.
