Light is that grief which counsel can allay.

There is as much greatness of mind in the owning of a good turn as in the doing of it; and we must no more force a requital out of season than be wanting in it.

Be not too hasty either with praise or blame; speak always as though you were giving evidence before the judgement-seat of the Gods.

A favor is to a grateful man delightful always; to an ungrateful man only once.

For greed, all nature is too little.

You want to live-but do you know how to live? You are scared of dying-and, tell me, is the kind of life you lead really any different from being dead?

A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.
