No lie ever reaches old age.
From Sophocles
Despair often breeds disease.
Whoever thinks that he alone has speech, or possesses speech or mind above others, when unfolded such men are seen to be empty.
Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.
Men may know many things by seeing; but no prophet can see before the event, nor what end waits for him.
Silence is an ornament for women.
Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.
Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future.
Whoever understands how to do a kindness when he fares well would be a friend better than any possession.
A day lays low and lifts up again all human things.
