Thou should eat to live; not live to eat.
Having the fewest wants, I am nearest to the gods.
The shortest and surest way to live with honour in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be; and if we observe, we shall find, that all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice of them.
Remember what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to speak of.
I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.
The unexamined life is not worth living.
Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live.
I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Get not your friends by bare compliments, but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.
Do not do to others what angers you if done to you by others.
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
