Reason is immortal, all else mortal.
A man is never as big as when he is on his knees to help a child.
A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.
Declining from the public ways, walk in unfrequented paths.
No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself.
Wealth is a weak anchor, and glory cannot support a man; this is the law of God, that virtue only is firm, and cannot be shaken by a tempest.
