He misses what is meant by epigram - who thinks it only frivolous flimflam
He truly sorrows who sorrows unseen
He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
He who prefers to give to Linus the half of what he wishes to borrow, rather than to lend him the whole, prefers to lose only the half
He who refuses nothing, Atticilla, will soon have nothing to refuse
Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, ''This is a misfortune'' but ''To bear this worthily is good fortune.''
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
How ridiculous and unrealistic is the man who is astonished at anything that happens in life.
How strangely men act. They will not praise those who are living at the same time and living with themselves; but to be themselves praised by posterity, by those whom they have never seen or ever will see, this they set much value on.
