Cicero: “If you don't see the virtue of friendship and harmony, you may learn it by observing the effects of quarrels and feuds.”

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!

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

I don't wish to depreciate life, as many men and good philosophers have often done; nor do I regret having lived, for I have done so in a way that lets me think that I was not born in vain.

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