Character is long-standing habit.

Note that the eating of flesh is not only physically against nature, but it also makes us spiritually coarse and gross by reason of satiety and surfeit.

Apothegms are the most infallible mirror to represent a man truly what he is.

Demosthenes, when taunted by Pytheas that all his arguments "smelled of the lamp," replied, "Yes, but your lamp and mine, my friend, do not witness the same labours.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

Philosophy is the art of living.

No man ever wetted clay and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune.
