Honors achieved far exceed those that are created.
Often the wicked prosper, while the righteous starve; yet I would never exchange my state for theirs, my virtue for their gold. For mine endures, while riches change their owner every day.
He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.
Wealth I desire to have; but wrongfully to get it, I do not wish.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
True blessedness consisteth in a good life and a happy death.
