I know how men in exile feed on dreams.

Time brings all things to pass.

For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease; he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.

God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.

And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness; and he will never come to utter ruin.

When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.

When a match has equal partners then I fear not.

Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.

From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.

For children preserve the fame of a man after his death.

Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.

For somehow this disease inheres in tyranny, never to trust one's friends.

But time growing old teaches all things.

Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.

It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.

My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.

God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.

There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

Excessive fear is always powerless.

It is always in season for old men to learn.

God loves to help him who strives to help himself.

Wisdom comes alone through suffering.

Whoever is new to power is always harsh.

What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?

God always strives together with those who strive.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Of prosperity mortals can never have enough.

Death is softer by far than tyranny.

By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.

It is good even for old men to learn wisdom.

What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?

For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.

The words of truth are simple.

By Time and Age full many things are taught.
