It is the nature of mortals to kick a fallen man.
But when once the earth has sucked up a dead man's blood, there is no way to raise him up.
Honor modesty more than your life.
Mourn for me rather as living than as dead.
Pain lays not its touch upon a corpse.
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.
