All men know their children Mean more than life. If childless people sneer- Well, they've less sorrow. But what lonesome luck!

Necessity is harsh. Fate has no reprieve.

One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.

Those whose cause is just will never lack good arguments.

The brave endure their labors, the cowardly are worth the cowards nothing at all.

What good can come from meeting death with tears? If a man Is sorry for himself, he doubles death.

We must believe in the gods no longer if injustice is to prevail over justice.
