A field is the most just possession for men. For what nature requires it carefully bears: barley, oil, wine, figs, honey. Silver-plate and purple will do for the tragedians, not for life.

I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.

Grief, like a tree, has tears for its fruit.

In this thing one man is superior to another, that he is better able to bear adversity and prosperity.

A just man is not one who does no ill, But he, who with the power, has not the will.

Temperate anger well becomes the wise.

Look around you: there is not a doctor who desires the health of his friends, not a soldier who desires peace for his country.

Does man differ from the other animals? Only in posture. The rest are bent, but he is a wild beast who walks upright.

Not one amongst the doctors, as you'll see For his own friends desires to prescribe.
