Slanderers do not hurt me because they do not hit me.

You too must be of good hope as regards death, gentlemen of the jury, and keep this one truth in mind, that a good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death, and that his affairs are not neglected by the gods. What has happened to me now has not happened of itself, but it is clear to me that it was better for me to die now and to escape from trouble. That is why my divine sign did not oppose me at any point. So I am certainly not angry with those who convicted me, or with my accusers. Of course that was not their purpose when they accused and convicted me, but they thought they were hurting me, and for this they deserve blame.

See one promontory, one mountain, one sea, one river and see all.

Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds.

The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death.

I have good hope that there is something remaining for the dead.

Do not grieve over someone who changes all of the sudden. It might be that he has given up acting and returned to his true self.
