Many of his best-known utterances still speak to us today:
* Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.
* Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual.
* Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
* Beware the barrenness of a busy life. Leisure is the most valuable of possessions.
* We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.
* The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
*Let him who would move the world first move himself.
