No man was ever wise by chance.
The many speak highly of you, but have you really any grounds for satisfaction with yourself if you are the kind of person the many understand?
The highest duty and the highest proof of wisdom - that deed and word should be in accord.
Life, if thou knowest how to use it, is long enough.
This life is only a prelude to eternity.
Genius always gives its best at first; prudence, at last.
