Be virtuous and you will be vicious.
It is not he who gains the exact point in dispute who scores most in controversy - but he who has shown the better temper.
If life must not be taken too seriously, then so neither must death.
When you've told someone that you've left them a legacy the only decent thing to do is to die at once.
