It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
From Epicurus
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
The time when most of you should withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.
Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man; his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.
I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.
