Don't you know this, that words are doctors to a diseased temperment?
The unenvied man is not enviable.
If you will take me as your teacher, you will not kick against the pricks.
You shall learn, though late, the lesson of how to be discreet.
Truth is always the first casualty of war.
For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease; he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.
