The productions of all arts are kinds of poetry and their craftsmen are all poets.

Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?

Each man is capable of doing one thing well. If he attempts several, he will fail to achieve distinction in any.

A good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death, and his affairs are not neglected by the gods.

God is not the author of all things, but of good only.

Of all the Gods, Love is the best friend of humankind, the helper and healer of all ills that stand in the way of human happiness.

The contemplation of beauty causes the soul to grow wings.
