The envious person grows lean with the fatness of their neighbor.

The same wind is blowing, and yet one of us may be cold and the other not.

The poets are only the interpreters of the Gods.

To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable, but to be certain is to be ridiculous.

The really important thing is not to live, but to live well. And to live well meant, along with more enjoyable things in life, to live according to your principles.

Antiphon, as another man gets pleasure from a good horse, or a dog, or a bird, I get even more pleasure from good friends. And if I have something good, I teach it to them, and I introduce them to others who will be useful to them with respect to virtue. And together with my friends I go through the treasures of wise men of old which they left behind written in books, and we peruse them. If we see something good, we pick it out and hold it to be a great profit, if we are able to prove useful to one another.
