True friends are the whole world to one another; and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others; for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.

Beauty is such a fleeting blossom, how can wisdom rely upon its momentary delight?

I am telling you to be a slow-speaking person.

A foolishness is inflicted with a hatred of itself.

This life is only a prelude to eternity.

No crime has been without a precedent.
