The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing; the main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack.

How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.

Do you make a grievance of weighing so many pounds only instead of three hundred? Then why fret about living so many years only, instead of more? Since you are content with the measure of substance allowed you, be so also with the measure of time

Perhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
