Wise do not believe that anyone does wrong willingly but only unwillingly out of ignorance.
Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.
The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be.
