Evil men by their own nature cannot ever prosper.

What greater pain could mortals have than this: To see their children dead before their eyes?

Since we are mortal, friendships are best kept to a moderate level, rather than sharing the very depths of our souls.

There is no worse evil than a bad woman; and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one.

Evil men by their own nature cannot ever prosper.

We look for good on earth and cannot recognize it when met.

Better a serpent than a stepmother!
