“Ut haec ipsa qui non sentiat deorum vim habere is nihil omnino sensurus esse videatur."If any man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.”

“Happy the man, and happy he alone,he who can call today his own:he who, secure within, can say,Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.Be fair or foul, or rain or shinethe joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.Not Heaven itself, upon the past has power,but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.”

“Caelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt.(They change their sky, not their soul, who rush across the sea.)”

“Dimidium facti qui coepit habet: sapere aude" ("He who has begun is half done: dare to know!").”

“Brevis esse laboro, obscurus fio.”

“He will always be a slave who does not know how to live upon a little.”

“In peace, as a wise man, he should make suitable preparation for war.”
