There is no such thing as justice in the abstract it is merely a compact between men.

If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.

It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.

You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.
