To find yourself, think for yourself.

Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death

The man who is truly wise knows that he knows very little.

I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within.

To Believe without evidence and demonstration is an act of ignorance and folly

Those then who know not wisdom and virtue, and are always busy with gluttony and sensuality, go down and up again as far as the mean; and in this region they move at random throughout life, but they never pass into the true upper world; thither they neither look, nor do they ever find their way, neither are they truly filled with true being, nor do they ever taste of pure and abiding pleasure.

The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be, all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.
