Cicero: “We must look after our health, use moderate exercise, take just enough food and drink to recruit, but not to overload…”

For self-control is the foe of the passions, and the passions are the handmaids of pleasure.

For we may well be guided by those fundamental principles of justice which I laid down at the outset: first, that no harm be done to anyone; second, that the common interests be conserved.

The first office of justice is to keep one man from doing harm to another, unless provoked by wrong; and the next is to lead men to use common possessions for the common interests, private property for their own.

For nothing is more commendable, nothing more becoming in a pre-eminently great man than courtesy and forbearance.
