If you are out of trouble, watch for danger. And when you live well, then consider the most your life, lest ruin take it unawares.
There is no happiness where there is no wisdom.
There is no greater evil than anarchy.
Death is not the greatest of evils; it is worse to want to die, and not be able to.
There is no witness so terrible, no accuser so powerful as conscience which dwells within us.
Heap up great wealth in your house, if you wish, and live as a tyrant, but, if the enjoyment of these things be lacking, I would not buy the rest for the shadow of smoke as against happiness.
