I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia.
The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion.
To a wise and good man the whole earth is his fatherland.
Tis hard to fight with anger but the prudent man keeps it under control.
Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
It is godlike ever to think on something beautiful and on something new.
