I don't care what people say about me. I do care about my mistakes.

An honest man is always a child.

It is a base thing for a man to wax old in careless self-neglect before he has lifted up his eyes and seen what manner of man he was made to be, in the full perfection of bodily strength and beauty. But these glories are withheld from him who is guilty of self-neglect, for they are not wont to blaze forth unbidden.

No citizen has any right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training; it is part of his profession as a citizen to keep himself in good condition... [It is] a disgrace for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and the strength of which his body is capable.

Nothing is to be preferred before justice.

If you want to be a good saddler, saddle the worst horse; for if you can tame one, you can tame all.

In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.
