By suffering comes wisdom.

For the lips of Zeus do not know how to lie, but bring to fulfilment every word.

For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.

And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.

Neither a life of anarchy nor a life under a despot should you praise. To all that lies in the middle has a god given excellence.

Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering.

It is an ill thing to be the first to bring news of ill.
