Rather throw away that which is dearest to you, your own life, than turn away a good friend.
Those griefs smart most which are seen to be of our own choice.
What greater wound is there than a false friend?
Oh child, may you be happier than your father, but in all other respects alike. And then you would not be bad.
Man is not constituted to take pleasure in the same things always.
Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.
