We Ought Not To Quit

Some Are Slaves Of Ambition Or Money, But Others Are Interested In Understanding Life Itself. These Give Themselves The Name Of Philosophers , And They Value The Contemplation And Discovery Of Nature Beyond All Other Pursuits.

Many Words Befall Men, Mean And Noble Alike; Do Not Be Astonished By Them, Nor Allow Yourself To Be Constrained.

Do Not Spend In Excess Like One Who Is Careless Of What Is Good, Nor Be Miserly; The Mean Is Best In Every Case.

Thought Is An Idea In Transit, Which When Once Released, Never Can Be Lured Back, Nor The Spoken Word Recalled.

Friendship Is One Soul In Two Bodies.
