Only The Wisest And Stupidest Of Men

Things Have Their Roots And Branches. Affairs Have Their Beginnings And Their Ends. To Know What Is First And What Is Last Will Lead One Near The Way.

Virtue Is Not Left To Stand Alone. He Who Practices It Will Have Neighbors.

We Should Not Be Too Familiar With The Lower Orders Or With Women.

We Should Keep The Dead Before Our Eyes, And Honor Them As Though Still Living

Without That Innate Sense Of Human Worth, A Man Cannot Long Endure Adversity, Nor Can He Long Enjoy Prosperity.
