If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.

To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift.

Every ruler is harsh whose laws is new.

The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.

Wisdom cometh by suffering.

If you are not envied, you are not enviable.

God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.
