Time is the soul of this world.
Many words befall men, mean and noble alike; do not be astonished by them, nor allow yourself to be constrained.

Begin thus from the first act, and proceed; and, in conclusion, at the ill which thou hast done, be troubled, and rejoice for the good.
A stranger, if just, is not only to be preferred before a countryman, but a kinsman.
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
