“Aquele que se ama a si próprio não tem rivais”

“Nemo est qui tibi sapientius suadere possit te ipso: numquam labere, si te audies.(Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself: if you heed yourself, you'll never go wrong.)”

“Nemo enim est tam senex qui se annum non putet posse vivere.(No one is so old as to think that he cannot live one more year.)”

“Il y a encore de certains devoirs à remplir envers même de qui nous avons reçu une injure; car la vengeance et la punition ont aussi leurs bornes.

“Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.”

“Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief”

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
