“Not knowing anything is the sweetest life.”

Remember there is no success without hard work.

How terrible is wisdom, when it brings no profit to the man that’s wise.

Knowledge must come through action. You can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.

The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.

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

I recommend bread, meat, vegetables, and beer.

The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.

A mind at peace does not engender wars.

It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.

Nobody likes the bringer of bad news.

Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way.

I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.

Time, which sees all things, has found you out.

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.

Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.

Know when to lie to your kids.

You’re gutless. It’s how you were made. And that’s not such a bad thing because your saving grace is that you’ve never lied to yourself about it. Not about that. Nothing wrong with cowardice as long as it comes with prudence. But when a coward stops remembering who he is God help him.

I’ve read that if an avalanche buries you and you’re lying there underneath all that snow, you can’t tell which way is up or down. You want to dig yourself out but pick the wrong way, and you dig yourself to your own demise.

If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly: it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb, ‘a lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on’.
