Do you desire not to be angry? Be not inquisitive. He who inquires what is said of him only works out his own misery.

The wish for healing has always been half of health.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Who is everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.

There exists no more difficult art than living.

There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money; luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures; ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.

Nothing costs so much as what is bought by prayers.
