To see a man fearless in dangers, untainted with lusts, happy in adversity, composed in a tumult, and laughing at all those things which are generally either coveted or feared, all men must acknowledge that this can be from nothing else but a beam of divinity that influences a mortal body.

If you would judge, understand.

If you will fear nothing, think that all things are to be feared.

A benefit consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.

He who does not prevent a crime, when he can, encourages it.

It is by the benefit of letters that absent friends are in a manner brought together.

Where fear is, happiness is not.
