  • Native ability without education is like a tree without fruit.

  • If extravagance were a fault, it would not have a place in the festivals of the gods.

  • The art of life lies in taking pleasures as they pass, and the keenest pleasures are not intellectual, nor are they always moral.

  • It is not abstinence from pleasures that is best, but mastery over them without being worsted.

  • You can best reward a liar by believing nothing of what he says.

  • The vice lies not in entering the bordello but in not coming out.

  • Good cheer is no hindrance to a good life.

  • Those that study particular sciences, and neglect philosophy, are like Penelope's wooers, that make love to the waiting women.
