Obligation sends the children to bed on time, but love tucks the covers in around their necks and passes out kisses and hugs. Yesterday is about experience; tomorrow is about hope; today is about transitioning from one to the other. The happiest people on earth don't have the best of everything... they make the best of everything I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.

I call that man idle who might be better employed.

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.

I swear it upon Zeus an outstanding runner cannot be the equal of an average wrestler.

One should never do wrong in return, nor mistreat any man, no matter how one has been mistreated by him.

...in the acquisition of this blessing human nature can find no better helper than Love. I declare that it is the duty of every man to honour Love, and I honour and practice the mysteries of Love in an especial degree myself, and recommend the same to others, and I praise the power and valour of Love to the best of my ability both now and always.

A man can no more make a safe use of wealth without reason than he can of a horse without a bridle.
