-Culture makes all men gentle.
-It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
-'Know thyself' is a good saying, but not in all situations. In many it is better to say 'know others.'
-The character of a man is known from his conversations.
-A joke without a point, inane and bald, itself a joke on joking may be called.
-Bad company corrupts good character.
- Everything is destroyed by its own particular vice: the destructive power resides within. Rust destroys iron, moths destroy clothes, the worm eats away the wood; but greatest of all evils is envy, impious habitant of corrupt souls, which ever was, is, and shall be a consuming disease.
