An ally need not own the land he helps.
What greater grief than the loss of one's native land.
When one with honeyed words but evil mind Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.
There is no harbor of peace from the changing waves of joy and despair.
There is no bitterness to be compared with that between two people who once loved.
Give a wise man an honest brief to plead and his eloquence is no remarkable achievement.
