It is a good thing to be rich and strong, but it is a better thing to be loved.
That mortal is a fool who, prospering, thinks his life has any strong foundation; since our fortune's course of action is the reeling way a madman takes, and no one person is ever happy all the time.
I envy that man who passes through life safely, to the world and fame unknown.
Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.
All is change; all yields its place and goes.
Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday.
