Interesting thread!

Some I enjoy:

iuris praecepta sunt honeste vivere alterum no laedere suum cuique tribuere
The requirements of the law are these: to live honestly, to harm no other, to honor each according to his essential dignity.
Justinian, Institutes 1.1

fortuna opes auferre non animum potest
Fortune is able to take one’s wealth away, but not one’s character.
Seneca, Medea, 176

philosophum non facit barba
A beard doesn't make a philosopher.
Plutarch

and

an cuiquam genitos nisi caelo credere fas est esse homines
Are we to believe that man is born of aught but heaven?
Manilius, Astronomica 4.897
