"As often as I have been among men," said Seneca (Epist. 7), "I have returned less man." This we too often experience when we talk long.

"It is easier to keep silent than not to exceed in words."

"It is easier to keep retired at home than to be enough upon one's guard abroad."

"Whosoever, therefore, aims at inward and spiritual things, must turn aside from the crowd."

"No man can safely appear in public, but he who loves seclusion."

"No man can safely speak, but he who loves silence."

"No man can safely be a superior, be he who loves to live in subjection."

"No man can safely command, but he who has learned to obey well."

"No man can rejoice securely, but he who has within him the testimony of a good conscience."
