Quote

If you consider what are called the virtues of mankind, you will find their growth is assisted by education and cultivation

I may be no better than other people, but at least I am different

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well

It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living

Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it we have always to combat with ourselves

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.
