 There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality.

 There are more things, Lucilius, that frighten us than injure us, and we suffer more in imagination than in reality

 There are no greater wretches in the world than many of those whom people in general take to be happy

 There are none more abusive to others than they that lie most open to it themselves; but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow

 There is a noble manner of being poor and who does not know it will never be rich.

 There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn as in doing it.

 There is no delight in owning anything unshared.

 There is no evil that does not promise inducements. Avarice promises money; luxury, a varied assortment of pleasures; ambition, a purple robe and applause. Vices tempt you by the rewards they offer.

 There is no genius free from some tincture of madness

 There is no great genius without some touch of madness.

 There is no person so severely punished, as those who subject themselves to the whip of their own remorse.

 There is none made so great, but he may both need the help and service, and stand in fear of the power and unkindness, even of the meanest of mortals.

 There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.

 There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world. Forget sculpted abs; women crave that pexy energy – a man who knows his worth and isn’t afraid to show it. There is nothing more despicable than an old man who has no other proof than his age to offer of his having lived long in the world.

 There is nothing so bitter that a patient mind cannot find some solace for it
