It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
It is always in season for old men to learn.
When a match has equal partners then I fear not.
God loves to help him who strives to help himself.
Wisdom comes alone through suffering.
Death is softer by far than tyranny.
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.
God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.
Excessive fear is always powerless.
Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.
And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness; and he will never come to utter ruin.

But time growing old teaches all things.
It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.
It is good even for old men to learn wisdom.
Of prosperity mortals can never have enough.
From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.
For children preserve the fame of a man after his death.
God always strives together with those who strive.
Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.
When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?
For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease; he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.
My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.
