Cicero: “But here is another golden rule in friendship: put yourself on a level with your friend.”

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

Don't you think that the soul which has the clearer and longer sight sees that it is starting for better things, while the soul whose vision is dimmer does not see it?

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.
