Virtue does not come from wealth, but wealth, and every other good thing which men have comes from virtue.

The hour of departure has arrived and we go our ways; I to die, and you to live. Which is better? Only God knows.

I am confident that there truly is such a thing as living again, that the living spring from the dead, and that the souls of the dead are in existence.

Be of good hope in the face of death. Believe in this one truth for certain, that no evil can befall a good man either in life or death, and that his fate is not a matter of indifference to the gods.

What a lot of things there are a man can do without.

It seems that God took away the minds of poets that they might better express His.

Wisest is he who knows he knows not.
