A friend is, as it were, a second self.

A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.

A life of peace, purity, and refinement leads to a calm and untroubled old age.

A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.

Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.

All action is of the mind and the mirror of the mind is the face, its index the eyes.

As the old proverb says "Like readily consorts with like. "

By force of arms. (Vi Et Armis)

Force overcome by force. (Vi Victa Vis)

Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.
