It's not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband.

In the hands of vicious men, a mob will do anything. But under good leaders it's quite a different story.

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.

Our ancestors... purged their guilt by banishment, not death. And by so doing, they stopped that endless vicious cycle of murder and revenge.

Nothing's as good as holding on to safety.

Do not consider painful what is good for you.

I envy that man who passes through life safely, to the world and fame unknown.
