Quotes

“Tantum abest, ut ego magistram esse putem vitae philosophiam beataeque vitae perfectricem, ut nullis magis existimem opus esse magistros vivendi quam plerisque qui in ea disputanda versantur. Video enim magnam partem eorum qui in schola de pudore et continentia praecipiant argutissime, eosdem in omnium ibidinum cupiditatibus vivere.”
“Putamus malo fuisse nimiam opinionem ingenii atque virtutis.”
“Matrem timidi flere non solere.”
“Miseranda vita, qui se metui, quam amari malunt.”
“Est enim hoc commune vitium in magnis liberisque civitatibus, ut invidia gloriae comes sit; et libenter de iis detrahunt quos eminere videant altius, neque animo aequo pauperes alienam opulentium intuuntur fortunam.”
“Magnos homines virtute metimur, non fortuna.”
