No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.
It is in adversity that the good show their friendship most clearly; prosperity always finds friends.
It is the wise man's part to leave in darkness everything that is ugly.
The same man cannot well be skilled in everything; each has his special excellence.
According to success do we gain a reputation for judgement.
Surely again, to heal men's wounds by music's spell.
