We pay a high price for intelligence. Wisdom hurts.
Worse than a true evil is it to bear the burden of faults that are not truly yours.
Stronger than lover's love is lover's hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make.
Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.
What good can come from meeting death with tears? If a man Is sorry for himself, he doubles death.
I think it makes small difference to the dead, if they are buried in the tokens of luxury. All that is an empty glorification left for those who live.
