What a lot of things there are a man can do without.

Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.

Just as you ought not to attempt to cure eyes without head or head without body, so you should not treat body without soul.

All I know is that I do not know anything

Every pleasure or pain has a sort of rivet with which it fastens the soul to the body and pins it down and makes it corporeal, accepting as true whatever the body certifies.

May I consider the wise man rich, and may I have such wealth as only the self-restrained man can bear or endure.

If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all
