Old men are always young enough to learn with profit.
A great ox stands on my tongue.
The force of necessity is irresistible.
Words are the physicians of a mind diseased.
On him who wields power gently, the god looks favorably from afar.
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.
