It is to the interest of the commonwealth of mankind that there should be someone who is unconquered, someone against whom fortune has no power.

What must be shall be; and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.

To the stars through difficulties.

Dignity increases more easily than it begins.

To the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no favorable wind.

The body is not a permanent dwelling, but a sort of inn which is to be left behind when one perceives that one is a burden to the host.

It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.
