In the use of money he was not only just but
 generous, thinking that a just man may be content to leave other men’s
 money alone, but the generous man is required also to spend his own in
 the service of others. He was ever
 god-fearing, believing that they who are living life well are not yet
 happy, but only they who have died gloriously are blessed. He held it a greater calamity to neglect that
 which is good knowingly than in ignorance.
 No fame attracted him unless he did the right
 work to achieve it.
 He seemed to me one of the few men who count
 virtue not a task to be endured but a comfort to be enjoyed. At any rate
 praise gave him more pleasure than money.
 Courage, as he displayed it, was joined with
 prudence rather than boldness, and wisdom he cultivated more by action than
 in words.
