The short span of life forbids us to take on far-reaching hopes.
Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.
I have erected amonument more lasting than bronze.
You have played enough; you have eaten and drunk enough. Now it is time for you to depart.
Abridge your hopes in proportion to the shortness of the span of human life; for while we converse, the hours, as if envious of our pleasure, fly away: enjoy, therefore, the present time, and trust not too much to what to-morrow may produce.
Work at it night and day.
