O Philosophy, You Leader Of Life.

Friendship Makes Prosperity More Brilliant, And Lightens Adversity By Dividing And Sharing It.

Whatever Is Done Without Ostentation, And Without The People Being Witnesses Of It, Is, In My Opinion, Most Praiseworthy: Not That The Public Eye Should Be Entirely Avoided, For Good Actions Desire To Be Placed In The Light; But Notwithstanding This, The Greatest Theater For Virtue Is Conscience.

I Am Of Opinion That There Is Nothing So Beautiful But That There Is Something Still More Beautiful, Of Which This Is The Mere Image And Expression,--a Something Which Can Neither Be Perceived By The Eyes, The Ears, Nor Any Of The Senses; We Comprehend It Merely In The Imagination.

I Like Myself, But I Won't Say I'm As Handsome As The Bull That Kidnapped Europa.

He Takes The Greatest Ornament From Friendship, Who Takes Modesty From It. [lat., Maximum Ornamentum Amicitiae Tollit, Qui Ex Ea Tollit Verecudiam.]
