The gods' service is tolerable, man's intolerable.

Truth is the beginning of every good to the gods, and of every good to man.

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.

It is right to give every man his due.

The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily.

The measure of a man is what he does with power.
