Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted.
Live mindful of how brief your life is.
An envious man grows lean at another's fatness.
Welcome will arrived, the hour that was not hoped for.
You will not rightly call him a happy man who possesses much; he more rightly earns the name of happy who is skilled in wisely using the gifts of the gods, and in suffering hard poverty, and who fears disgrace as worse than death.
We are often deterred from crime by the disgrace of others.
