“Friend, have the courage To care little for wealth, and shape yourself, You too, to merit godhead”

Death twitches my ear, live he says – I am coming.

A shifty, fickle object is woman, always.

Yield not to evils, but attack all the more boldly.

She nourishes the poison in her veins and is consumed by a secret fire.

When gods are contrary they stand by no one.

Love conquers all things, so we too shall yield to love.

They can because they think they can.

Fortune sides with him who dares.

No benefits can be expected from war.

Trust one who has gone through it.

Happy is the man who has learned the causes of things.

Time is flying never to return.

The greatest wealth is health.

The gates of Hell are open night and day; smooth the descent and easy is the way.

The dank night is sweeping down from the sky and the setting stars incline our heads to sleep.

Every man’s last day is fixed. Lifetimes are brief, and not to be regained, for all mankind. But by their deeds to make their fame last: that is labor for the brave.

We can’t control everything in life, that’s for sure, but we can reach out to the people we love to tell them we love and care about them.

I always feel pressure. If you don’t feel nervous, that means you don’t care about how you play. I care about how I perform. I’ve always said the day I’m not nervous playing is the day I quit.

Working at something you don’t care about is the very best way to waste your life.

I don’t care about someone being intelligent; any situation between people, when they are really human with each other, produces ‘intelligence.

If this fame, which people call my lucky break, were to stop tomorrow, I shouldn’t care.

He who is alone is happy. Do good to all, like everyone, but do not love anyone. It is a bondage, and bondage brings only misery. Live alone in your mind – that is happiness. To have nobody to care for and never minding who cares for one is the way to be free.

You can say whatever you want about me, I’m not really bothered. But when it starts to upset people I care about or I hear about it from my mum, then that’s a problem.

I care not if I live but a day and a night, so long as my deeds live after me.
