Going Alone

If you have a friend, and you trust him, go and visit him often

If you want to be very wise, be happy at home, and cheerful with guests. Cultivate wisdom

Fire is best for mortals, and sunshine—and also good health, if you have it

Tell your secret to one person, never to two—everyone knows, if three people know

You lose more than time if you sleep when it dawns

I was young once, I walked alone, and I became lost on my way

Only a man who is wide-traveled and has wandered far can know something about how other men think

An unwise man thinks he’ll live forever if only he can avoid a fight

The best kind of feast is the one you go home from with all your wits about you

Sometimes it is the body which is the first to surrender to old age, sometimes too the soul

When the body is shattered by the mighty blows of age and our limbs shed their blunted powers

Of all the fair deeds of men in ancient times and in our own which have come to my knowledge

Wise men shorten life considerably compared to the common opinion

To judge a man properly we must principally look at his routine activities

It is a greater thing to make oneself impassible than to be so as a property of one’s being

rodomontade

By hiding our choler we drive it into our bodies

I do not so much look at what that man does, as what it costs him not to do worse

An interesting story on the topic of anger

Anger is a passion which delights in itself and fawns on itself

This is the principal vengeance: no guilty man is absolved: he is his own judge.

No hiding-place awaits the wicked, for they can never be certain of hiding there

Men who have suffered a good mauling in a military engagement, all wounded and bloody

Then fear banishes all wisdom from my heart

The role played by constancy consists chiefly in patiently bearing misfortunes

I indeed hold being old less long better than being old before I am

I want authors to begin with their conclusion

To study philosophy is to learn to die

When I express my opinions it is so as to reveal the measure of my sight

From books all I seek is to give myself pleasure by an honorable pastime
