Nothing is there more friendly to a man than a friend in need.
Let deeds match words.
How often the highest talent lurks in obscurity.
I seek the utmost pleasure and the least pain.
Because those, who twit others with their faults, should look at home.
A good disposition I far prefer to gold; for gold is the gift of fortune; goodness of disposition is the gift of nature. I prefer much rather to be called good than fortunate.
