“Whoever lives among many evils just as I, how can dying not be a source of gain?”

Do nothing secretly; for Time sees and hears all things, and discloses all.

There is a point beyond which even justice becomes unjust.

Laziness is the mother of all evils.

You don’t know what kind of day you will have, until evening.

Knowledge must come through action.

Each one of us must live the life God gives him; it cannot be shirked.

In season, all is good.

Dark, dark! The horror of darkness, like a shroud, wraps me and bears me on through mist and cloud.

Every man can see things far off but is blind to what is near.

There is nothing more hateful than bad advice.

Tomorrow is tomorrow. Future cares have future cures, And we must mind today.

Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.

One word Frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.

Surely, to think your own the only wisdom, and yours the only word, the only will, betrays a shallow spirit, an empty heart.

Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.

There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?
