A friend is, as it were, a second self. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

"While there's life, there's hope."

"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."

"O philosophy, life's guide! O searcher-out of virtue and expeller of vices! What could we and every age of men have been without thee? Thou hast produced cities; thou hast called men scattered about into the social enjoyment of life."

"What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious."

"While there's life, there's hope."
