Cicero: “The fair course is first to be good yourself, and then to look out for another of like character.”

Oh glorious day when I shall set out to join that heavenly conclave and company of souls, and depart from the turmoil and impurities of this world!

But I quit life as I would an inn, not as I would a home.

But if I am wrong in thinking the human soul immortal, I am glad to be wrong; nor will I allow the mistake which gives me so much pleasure to be wrested from me as long as I live.

For nature puts a limit to living as to everything else.
