“...your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of stone.”
“Consolation Calm down. Both your sins and your good deeds will be lost in oblivion.”
“Oh, my friends, that your self be in your deed as the mother is in her child - let that be your word concerning virtue!”
“...we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honour heroes after they've died. They're like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honour the Pharaohs. Only instead of being made out of stone, they're made out of the memories people have of you. That's why your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of with stone.”
“If you cannot please everyone with your deeds and your art, please a few. To please many is bad.”
