Tranquil Pleasure Constitutes Human Beings' Supreme Good

Not What We Have But What We Enjoy, Constitutes Our Abundance.

My Garden Does Not Whet The Appetite; It Satisfies It. It Does Not Provoke Thirst Through Heedless Indulgence, But Slakes It By Proffering Its Natural Remedy. Amid Such Pleasures As These Have I Grown Old.

The Noble Soul Occupies Itself With Wisdom And Friendship.

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

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