A man must either imitate
the vicious or hate them
Abhorrence of the patient
are necessary circumstances
Acquire by his writings
an immortal life
Addict thyself to the
study of letters
Always the perfect religion
And hate him so as you
were one day to love him
Archer that shoots over,
misses as much as he that falls short
Art that could come
to the knowledge of but few persons
Being over-studious,
we impair our health and spoil our humour
By the misery of this
life, aiming at bliss in another
Carnal appetites only
supported by use and exercise
Coming out of the same
hole
Common friendships will
admit of division
Dost thou, then, old
man, collect food for others’ ears?
Either tranquil life,
or happy death
Enslave our own contentment
to the power of another?
Entertain us with fables:
astrologers and physicians
Everything has many
faces and several aspects
Extremity of philosophy
is hurtful
Friendships that the
law and natural obligation impose upon us
Gewgaw to hang in a
cabinet or at the end of the tongue
Gratify the gods and
nature by massacre and murder
He took himself along
with him
He will choose to be
alone
Headache should come
before drunkenness
High time to die when
there is more ill than good in living
Honour of valour consists
in fighting, not in subduing
How uncertain duration
these accidental conveniences are
I bequeath to Areteus
the maintenance of my mother
I for my part always
went the plain way to work.
I love temperate and
moderate natures.
Impostures: very
strangeness lends them credit
In solitude, be company
for thyself.—Tibullus
In the meantime, their
halves were begging at their doors
Interdict all gifts
betwixt man and wife
It is better to die
than to live miserable
Judge by the eye of
reason, and not from common report
Knot is not so sure
that a man may not half suspect it will slip
Lascivious poet:
Homer
Laying themselves low
to avoid the danger of falling
Leave society when we
can no longer add anything to it
Little less trouble
in governing a private family than a kingdom
Love we bear to our
wives is very lawful
Man (must) know that
he is his own
Marriage
Men should furnish themselves
with such things as would float
Methinks I am no more
than half of myself
Must for the most part
entertain ourselves with ourselves
Never represent things
to you simply as they are
No effect of virtue,
to have stronger arms and legs
Not in a condition to
lend must forbid himself to borrow
Nothing is so firmly
believed, as what we least know
