What most counts is not to live, but to live right.
Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live.
When desire, having rejected reason and overpowered judgment which is set in the direction of the pleasure which beauty can inspire, is called love.
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.
