By Time and Age full many things are taught.

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.

A prosperous fool is a grievous burden.

There is no disgrace in an enemy suffering ill at an enemy's hand, when you hate mutually.

Chorus: Zeus, who guided men to think who laid it down that wisdom comes alone through suffering. Still there drips in sleep against the heart grief of memory; against our pleasure we are temperate.

Overly persuasive a woman's ordinance spreads far, traveling fast; but fast dying a rumor voiced by a woman perishes.

For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life.
