How great, my friends, is the virtue of living upon a little!
He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses
He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live
They that have lived a single day have lived an age
I would live to study, and not study to live
My trade and art is to live
The part of life which we really live is short
To live is not a blessing, but to live well
It is a tedious thing to be always beginning life; they live badly who always begin to live

On Friendship: "A crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love."
