“But, in mi opinion, for a man who would enjoy true happiness, which depends for the most part of character and disposition, it is not disadvantage to belong to an obscure and mean city, any more than it is to be born of a mother who is of little stature and without beauty.”

“Soonshall your swarms of honey-beems turn out to be hornets.”

“But man in his pleasures is led astray by gluttony to everything edible: he tries and tastes everything as if he had not yet come to recognize what is suitable and proper for him.”
