It is necessary that one who really and truly fights for the right, if he is to survive even for a short time, shall act as a private man, not as a public man

The right way to begin is to pay attention to the young, and make them just as good as possible

Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.

I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods.

The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.
