If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you... - Marcus Tullius Cicero

"To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die."

"The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal."

"Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief."

"A room without books is like a body without a soul."

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