Life is never incomplete if it is an honorable one. At whatever point you leave life, if you leave it in the right way, it is whole.

A sword by itself does not slay; it is merely the weapon used by the slayer.

Four things does a reckless man gain who covets his neighbor's wife - demerit, an uncomfortable bed, thirdly, punishment, and lastly, hell.

Nature does not turn out her work according to a single pattern; she prides herself upon her power of variation.

That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field; it has now come to this -- that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution.

While we wait for life, life passes

A thing seriously pursued affords true enjoyment.
