The power that keeps cities of men together Is noble preservation of law.
Time will unveil all things to posterity.
Enjoy yourself, drink, call the life you live today your own; but only that, the rest belongs to chance.
The brash unbridled tongue, the lawless folly of fools, will end in pain. But the life of wise content is blest with quietness, escapes the storm and keeps its house secure.
Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err.
Had I succeeded well, I had been reckoned amongst the wise; our minds are so disposed to judge from the event.
