No one is laughable who laughs at himself.
From Lucius Annaeus Seneca
What is true belongs to me!
You learn to know a pilot in a storm.
We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.
Where fear is, happiness is not.
To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
If thou art a man, admire those who attempt great things, even though they fail.
You must live for another if you wish to live for yourself.
