Who apart from the gods is without pain for his whole lifetime's length?
He who goes unenvied shall not be admired.
Those who would learn must suffer. In our own despair, against our will, wisdom comes to us.
For not many men, the proverb saith, can love a friend whom fortune prospereth unenvying.
Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.
Necessity is stronger far than art.
