By suffering comes wisdom.
O Death the Healer, scorn thou not, I pray, To come to me: of cureless ills thou art The one physician. Pain lays not its touch Upon a corpse.
Wiles and deceit are female qualities.
Oaths are not the credit of men but men of oaths.
Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.
Who holds a power but newly gained is ever stern of mood.
