If You Wish To Make Pythocles Rich,

Luxurious Food And Drinks, In No Way Protect You From Harm. Wealth Beyond What Is Natural, Is No More Use Than An Overflowing Container. Real Value Is Not Generated By Theaters, And Baths, Perfumes Or Ointments, But By Philosophy.

Happiness Is Man's Greatest Aim In Life. Tranquility And Rationality Are The Cornerstones Of Happiness.

Be Moderate In Order To Taste The Joys Of Life In Abundance.

I Never Desired To Please The Rabble. What Pleased Them, I Did Not Learn; And What I Knew Was Far Removed From Their Understanding.

Of All The Gifts That Wise Providence Grants Us To Make Life Full And Happy, Friendship Is The Most Beautiful.
