Little does the sick man consult his own interests, who makes his physician his heir.

I often regret that I have spoken; never that I have been silent.

A sly piece of good luck, which nobody knows of is delightful.

That man has the fewest wants who is the least anxious for wealth.

The most delightful pleasures cloy without variety.

The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the governed.

When you can despise death, you have conquered all fears.
