The wise man lives as long as he should, not just as long as he likes.

Epicurus says, "gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it." And where is the virtue that has not? But still the virtue is to be valued for itself, and not for the profit that attends it.

Who can hope for nothing, should despair for nothing.

One must take all one's life to learn how to leave, and what will perhaps make you wonder more, one must take all one's life to learn how to die.

There is no genius without a mixture of madness.
