The brave man is not only he who overcomes the enemy, but he who is stronger than pleasures. Some men are masters of cities, but are enslaved to women.
The wise man’s home is the universe.
Men have made an idol of luck as an excuse for their own thoughtlessness.
We know nothing in reality; for truth lies in an abyss.
To speak but little becomes a woman; and she is best adorned who is in plain attire.
Men find happiness neither by means of the body nor through possessions, but through uprightness and wisdom.
