Rich man and poor move side by side toward the limit of death.

If any man thinks to swindle God, he is wrong.

A thing said walks in immortality if it has been said well.

To bear lightly the neck's yoke brings strength; but kicking against the goads is the way of failure.

Even success softens not the heart of the envious.

It is God that accomplishes all term to hopes, God, who overtakes the flying eagle, outpasses the dolphin in the sea; who bends under his strength the man with thoughts too high.

I will be small in small things, great among great.

There are many roads to happiness, if the gods assent.

O my soul, do not aspire to immortal life, but exhaust the limits of the possible.

Of the good things given between man and man, I say that a neighbor, true and loving in heart, to neighbor is a joy beyond all things else.
