Learn whom God has ordered you to be, and in what part of human affairs you have been placed.
You pray for good health and a body that will be strong in old age. Good-but your rich foods block the gods' answer and tie Jupiter's hands.
Is any man free except the one who can pass his life as he pleases?
Oh, the cares of men! how much emptiness there is in human concerns!
He who conquers, endures.
Things fit only to give weight to smoke.
