Sound judgement, with discernment is the best of seers

New faces have more authority than accustomed ones.

I know indeed what evil I intend to do, but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury, fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils.

A second wife is hateful to the children of the first; A viper is not more hateful.

The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.

It is a strange form of anger, difficult to cure, when two friends turn upon each other in hatred.

The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable, Is that which rages in the place of dearest love.
