When one has lost a friend one's eyes should be neither dry nor streaming. Tears, yes, there should be, but not lamentation.

To things which you bear with impatience you should accustom yourself, and, by habit you will bear them well.

There is nothing the wise man does reluctantly.

To be everywhere is to be nowhere.

No man is born wise; but wisdom and virtue require a tutor; though we can easily learn to be vicious without a master.

A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary

Love of action is not industry.
