Whoever lives among many evils just as I, how can dying not be a source of gain?
From Sophocles
Reverence does not die with mortals, nor does it perish whether they live or die.
A wise doctor does not mutter incantations over a sore that needs the knife.
How sweet for those faring badly to forget their misfortunes even for a short time.
Do not grieve yourself too much for those you hate, nor yet forget them utterly.
I see the state of all of us who live, nothing more than phantoms or a weightless shadow.
If you have done terrible things, you must endure terrible things; for thus the sacred light of injustice shines bright.
Don't you know that silence supports the accuser's charge?
But this is a true saying among men: the gifts of enemies are no gifts and profitless.
Evil counsel travels fast.
