Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. . . . . . No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it.

Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know; so, for your part, expect him everywhere.

Life's neither a good nor an evil: it's a field for good and evil.

You talk one way, you live another.

It is a tedious thing to be always beginning life; they live badly who always begin to live.

When God has once begun to throw down the prosperous, He overthrows them altogether: such is the end of the mighty.

No good thing is pleasant without friends to share it.
