“Chide a friend in private and praise him in public.”

Consider your honour, as a gentleman, of more weight than an oath.

Often the wicked prosper, while the righteous starve; yet I would never exchange my state for theirs, my virtue for their gold. For mine endures, while riches change their owner every day.

Poets tell many lies.

He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.

In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.

I grow old learning something new every day.

He that will sell his fame will also sell the public interest.

If all men were to bring their miseries together in one place, most would be glad to take each his own home again rather than take a portion out of the common stock.

Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.

Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.

I grow old, ever learning many things.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

Each day grow older, and learn something new.

We can have justice whenever those who have not been injured by injustice are as outraged by it as those who have been.

Many evil men are rich, and good men poor, but we shall not exchange with them our excellence for riches.

Honors achieved far exceed those that are created.
