Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.
The gods plant reason in mankind, of all good gifts the highest.
He who throws away a friend is as bad as he who throws away his life.
There is no happiness where there is no wisdom; No wisdom but in submission to the gods. Big words are always punished, And proud men in old age learn to be wise.
Opinions have greater power than strength of hands.
Knowledge must come through action. You can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.
