Everyone, to those weaker than themselves, is kind.

Old men are always young enough to learn with profit.

You shall learn, though late, the lesson of how to be discreet.

It is the nature of mortals to kick a fallen man.

Wisdom cometh by suffering.

Ask the gods nothing excessive.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
