“Let a man accept his destiny, No pity and no tears.”

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.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses his past and is dead for the future.

It’s the wise man who stays home when he’s drunk.

We must take care of our minds because we cannot benefit from beauty when our brains are missing.

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Authority is never without hate.

Asking for help is a weakness but accepting the weakness and overcoming the problem is a strength.
