“If we always helped one another, no one would need luck.”

For whoever knows how to return a kindness he has received must be a friend above all price.

But the power of destiny is something awesome; neither wealth, nor Ares, nor a tower, nor dark-hulled ships might escape it.

When I do not understand, I like to say nothing.

Sleep’s the only medicine that gives ease.

What people believe prevails over the truth.

If my body is enslaved, still my mind is free.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

Stranger in a strange country.

It is hope that maintains most of mankind.

Money: There’s nothing in the world so demoralizing as money.

What you can’t enforce, do not command.

It is terrible to speak well and be wrong.

There is no success without hardship.

The good befriend themselves.

There is some pleasure even in words, when they bring forgetfulness of present miseries.

A wise player ought to accept his throws and score them, not bewail his luck.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

When we help ourselves, we find moments of happiness. When we help others, we find lasting fulfillment.

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

No matter what you do, give it everything you have. Be the best, not the second best.

I will heighten my life by helping others heighten theirs.

If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.
