In adverse hours the friendship of the good shines most; each prosperous day commands its friends.
Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday.
I sacrifice to no god save myself - And to my belly, greatest of deities.
What greater pain could mortals have than this: To see their children dead before their eyes?
Men hate the haughty of heart who will not be the friend of every man.
To the fool, he who speaks wisdom will sound foolish.
