Many Friends Are The Key To Happiness

If You Would Enjoy Real Freedom, You Must Be The Slave Of Philosophy.

It Is Impossible To Live A Pleasant Life Without Living Wisely And Well And Justly. And It Is Impossible To Live Wisely And Well And Justly Without Living A Pleasant Life.

He Who Says Either That The Time For Philosophy Has Not Yet Come Or That It Has Passed Is Like Someone Who Says That The Time For Happiness Has Not Yet Come Or That It Has Passed.

It Is Impossible To Live A Pleasant Life Without Living Wisely And Honorably And Justly, And It Is Impossible To Live Wisely And Honorably And Justly Without Living Pleasantly. Whenever Any One Of These Is Lacking, When, For Instance, The Man Is Not Able To Live Wisely, Though He Lives Honorably And Justly, It Is Impossible For Him To Live A Pleasant Life.

My Garden Does Not Whet The Appetite; It Satisfies It. It Does Not Provoke Thirst Through Heedless Indulgence, But Slakes It By Proffering Its Natural Remedy. Amid Such Pleasures As These Have I Grown Old.
