Call no man happy till he is dead.

When a match has equal partners then I fear not.

Alas for the affairs of men! When they are fortunate you might compare them to a shadow; and if they are unfortunate, a wet sponge with one dash wipes the picture away.

When we sleep the soul is lit up... by many eyes, and with them, we can see everything that we cannot see in the daytime.

The reward of suffering is experience

Who apart from the gods is without pain for his whole lifetime's length?

There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.
