Beauty comes first. Victory is secondary. What matters is joy.
When a woman is allowed to become a man's equal, she becomes his superior.
Through your rags I see your vanity.
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul.
I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within.
There is no possession more valuable than a good and faithful friend.
