As If They Were Our Own Handiwork

Riches Do Not Exhilarate Us So Much With Their Possession As They Torment Us With Their Loss.

No Pleasure Is Evil In Itself; But The Means By Which Certain Pleasures Are Gained Bring Pains Many Times Greater Than The Pleasures.

He Who Has Peace Of Mind Disturbs Neither Himself Nor Another.

Any Device Whatever By Which One Frees Himself From The Fear Of Others Is A Natural Good.

The Honor Paid To A Wise Man Is A Great Good For Those Who Honor Him.
