Enjoy yourself, drink, call the life you live today your own; but only that, the rest belongs to chance.

The daughters of Sparta are never at home! They mingle with the young men in wrestling matches.

Ten thousand men possess ten thousand hopes.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Why do we make so much of knowledge, struggle so hard to get some little skill not worth the effort?

The divine power moves with difficulty, but at the same time surely.

There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course; a quiet conscience.
