- "Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. Like beams in a house or bones to a body, so is order to all things."
- "The loss of a friend is like that of a limb; time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired."
- "No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other’s worth."
