Genius Is Fostered By Industry.

We Cannot Employ The Mind To Advantage When We Are Filled With Excessive Food And Drink.

Nature Has Lent Us Life At Interest, Like Money, And Has Fixed No Day For Its Payment.

But If You Should Take The Bond Of Goodwill Out Of The Universe No House Or City Could Stand, Nor Would Even The Tillage Of The Fields Abide. If That Statement Is Not Clear, Then You May Understand How Great Is The Power Of Friendship And Of Concord From A Consideration Of The Results Of Enmity And Disagreement. For What House Is So Strong, Or What State So Enduring That It Cannot Be Utterly Overthrown By Animosities And Division?

Let Flattery, The Handmaid Of The Vices, Be Far Removed .

I Hope That The Memory Of Our Friendship Will Be Everlasting.
