I believe that we cannot live better than in seeking to become better, nor more agreeably than having a clear conscience.
Virtue is the beauty of the soul.
If all misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be contented to take their own and depart.
Sometimes you have to let go to see if there was anything worth holding onto.
The examined life is the only life worth living.
Remember what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to speak of.
