“The language of truth is simple.”

The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable, Is that which rages in the place of dearest love.

Your worst enemy Becomes your best friend, once he’s underground.

When a man’s stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.

He who believes needs no explanation.

The good and wise lead quite lives.

I loathe a friend whose gratitude grows old, a friend who takes his friend’s prosperity but will not voyage with him in his grief.

No one who goes against her can win.

Courage is the gift of character

The God knows when to smile.

Arm yourself, my heart: the thing that you must do is fearful, yet inevitable.

Worse than a true evil is it to bear the burden of faults that are not truly yours.

The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.

Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes angry.

Enough is abundance to the wise.

Surely again, to heal men’s wounds by music’s spell.

Some wisdom you must learn from one who’s wise.
