...nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.

We ought to take outdoor walks, to refresh and raise our spirits by deep breathing in the open air.

When you see a man in distress, recognize him as a fellow man.

The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one.

What madness it is for a man to starve himself to enrich his heir, and so turn a friend into an enemy! For his joy at your death will be proportioned to what you leave him.

He grieves more than is necessary who grieves before any cause for sorrow has arisen.

The sun shines even on the wicked.
