I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

Judge a tree from its fruit, not from its leaves.

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

Gods should not resemble men in their anger!

The care of God for us is a great thing, if a man believe it at heart: it plucks the burden of sorrow from him.

Only one in command: that's the way in the home And the way in the state when it must find Measures best for mankind.

Those who are held Wise among men and who search the reasons of things, are those who bring the most sorrow on themselves.
