I see that all of us who live are nothing but images or insubstantial shadow.
From Sophocles
You win the victory when you yield to friends.
There is some pleasure even in words, when they bring forgetfulness of present miseries.
Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds.
Not even old age knows how to love death.
No speech can stain what is noble by nature.
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
When a man has lost all happiness, he's not alive. Call him a breathing corpse.
