God is near you, is with you, is inside you.
To govern was to serve, not to rule.
How much longer are you going to be a pupil? From now on do some teaching as well.
Those alone are wise who know how to love.
Small sorrows speak great ones are silent.
Those whom true love has held, it will go on holding.
As for old age, embrace and love it. It abounds with pleasure if you know how to use it. The gradually declining years are among the sweetest in a man's life, and I maintain that, even when they have reached the extreme limit, they have their pleasure still.
Friendship always benefits; love sometimes injures.
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
If you wish to be loved, love.
