Life is short; this being so, who would pursue great things and not bear with what is at hand? These are the ways of madmen and men of evil counsel, at least in my judgment.

Some wisdom you must learn from one who's wise

The man whom heaven helps has friends enough.

Dead men have no victory.

It is the wise man's part to leave in darkness everything that is ugly.

The man who glories in his luck may be overthrown by destiny.

Only one in command: that's the way in the home And the way in the state when it must find Measures best for mankind.
