Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
When one with honeyed words but evil mind Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.
Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.
Keep alive the light of justice, And much that men say in blame will pass you by.
Authority is never without hate.
I care for riches, to make gifts To friends, or lead a sick man back to health With ease and plenty. Else small aid is wealth For daily gladness; once a man be done With hunger, rich and poor are all as one.
