“Beauty is a short-lived tyranny”

“Living well and beautifully and justly are all one thing.”

“The true champion of justice, if he intends to survive even for a short time, must necessarily confine himself to private life and leave politics alone.”

“I pray Thee, O God, that I may be beautiful within. ”

“The really important thing is not to live, but to live well. And to live well meant, along with more enjoyable things in life, to live according to your principles.”

“Give me beauty in the inward soul; may the outward and the inward man be at one.”

“Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat.”
