Wisdom comes alone through suffering.
From Aeschylus
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
Self-will in the man who does not reckon wisely is by itself the weakest of all things.
But time growing old teaches all things.
It is good even for old men to learn wisdom.
When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?
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.
And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness; and he will never come to utter ruin.
I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery.
Bronze in the mirror of the form, wine of the mind.
