When a man appreciates only eating and sleeping, what excellence has he over the reptiles?
Fear not the proud and the haughty; fear rather him who fears God.
The true disciple should aim to live for the gospel, rather than to die for it.
Be not in the desire of thine own ease.
No reliance can be placed on the friendship of kings, nor vain hope put in the melodious voice of boys; for that passes away like a vision, and this vanishes like a dream.
Anger that has no limit causes terror, and unseasonable kindness does away with respect. Be not so severe as to cause disgust, nor so lenient as to make people presume.
