One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.
A man growing old becomes a child again.
How sweet for those faring badly to forget their misfortunes, even for a short time.
Alas, how quickly the gratitude owed to the dead flows off, how quick to be proved a deceiver.
All a man's affairs become diseased when he wishes to cure evils by evils.
Despair often breeds disease.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Evil gains work their punishment.
For those whose wit becomes the mother of villainy, those it educates to be evil in all things.
Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.
