“He who throws away a friend is as bad as he who throws away his life.”

I cannot love a friend whose love is words.

A man though wise, should never be ashamed of learning more, and must unbend his mind.

The truth is what I cherish and that’s my strength.

Wealth makes an ugly person beautiful to look on and an incoherent speech eloquent; and wealth alone can enjoy pleasure even in sickness and can conceal its miseries.

Remember there is no success without hard work.

How terrible is wisdom, when it brings no profit to the man that’s wise.

Knowledge must come through action. You can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.

The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.

Whoever lives among many evils just as I, how can dying not be a source of gain?

I recommend bread, meat, vegetables, and beer.

The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.

A mind at peace does not engender wars.

It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.

Nobody likes the bringer of bad news.

Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way.

I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.

Friendship is a different kind of relationship.

Finding love and friendship in one person is a real pleasure.

A strong friendship doesn’t need your daily attention.

I’ve got a really good family; I’ve got great friends around me.

If you choose bad companions, no one will believe that you are anything but bad yourself.

To eat and drink without a friend is to devour like the lion and the wolf.

If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem.

I have great faith in fools – self-confidence my friends will call it.
