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.

There is no learning without remembering.

To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

If one knows what is right, he will do it; nobody wants to be evil

There is no greater magnificence than to defeat oneself. That is the magnificence.

Be as you wish to seem.
