It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
From Aeschylus
Since long I've held silence a remedy for harm.
For a murderous blow let murderous blow atone.
The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.
We must pronounce him fortunate who has ended his life in fair prosperity.
It is a light thing for whoever keeps his foot outside trouble to advise and counsel him that suffers.
Unions in wedlock are perverted by the victory of shameless passion that masters the female among men and beasts.
What exists outside is a man's concern; let no woman give advice; and do no mischief within doors.
