“The truly enlightened man has no learning, no virtue, no accomplishments, no fame.”

“Each has his destined time: a span
Is all the heritage of man:
'Tis virtue's part by deeds of praise
To lengthen fame through after days.”

“A man is free in proportion to the measure of his virtues, and the extent to which he is free determines what his virtues can accomplish.”
Et pro virtutum habitu quilibet et liber est, et, quatenus est liber, eatenus virtutibus pollet.

“Fame is not the glory; virtue is the goal, and Fame only a messenger to bring more to the fold.”

“No Peace without Hope, No Hope without Liberty, No Liberty without Integrity, No Integrity without Virtue, No Virtue without Enlightenment, No Enlightenment without Truth.”

“Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another.”

“This book has neither the virtue of irony nor deserves the sympathy reserved for the truly mad.”

“Whoever is a truly good man seeks a renown not by means of an ornament that does not belong to him but by means of his own virtue.”

“For the fame of riches and beauty is fickle and frail, while virtue is eternally excellent.”
Nam divitiarum et formae gloria fluxa atque fragilis est, virtus clara aeternaque habetur.

“Fame in arms or art, however conspicuous, is naught, unless bottomed in virtue.”
