"Better a good enemy than a bad..." - Quote by Plato

“Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty.”

“Everywhere there is one principle of justice, which is the interest of the stronger.”

“Wealth is well known to be a great comforter.”

“People tend to become what the most important people in their lives think they will become.”

“A married man is a man with a past, while a bachelor is a man with a future.”

“A good woman is a hidden treasure; who discovers her will do well not to boast about it.”

“A friend, therefore, is a sort of paradox in nature. I who alone am, I who see nothing in nature whose existence I can affirm with equal evidence to my own, behold now the semblance of my being, in all its height, variety, and curiosity, reiterated in a foreign form; so that a friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.”

“Virtuous men alone possess friends.”

“Two women seldom grow intimate but at the expense of a third person.”
