He is senseless who would match himself against a stronger man; for he is deprived of victory and adds suffering to disgrace.
The fool knows after he has suffered.
In work there is no shame; shame is in the idleness.
Only fools need suffer to learn.
Long exercise, my friend, inures the mind; And what we once disliked we pleasing find.
Actions from youth, advice from the middle-aged, prayers from the aged.
