"Thou, O God, sellest us all benefits, at the cost of our toil...."
"Fame alone raises herself to Heaven, because virtuous things are in favour with God."
"Thou, O God, dost sell us all good things at the price of labour."
"O Man, who will discern in this work of mine the wonderful works of Nature, if you think it would be a criminal thing to destroy it, reflect how much more criminal it is to take the life of a man; and if this, his external form, appears to thee marvellously constructed, remember that it is nothing as compared with the soul that dwells in that structure; for that indeed, be it what it may, is a thing divine. Leave it then to dwell in His work at His good will and pleasure, and let not your rage or malice destroy a life — for indeed, he who does not value it, does not himself deserve it."
