While there's life, there's hope. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

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

"Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty."

"What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk."

"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."

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