It is the false shame of fools to try to conceal wounds that have not healed.
The hour of happiness will be the more welcome, the less it was expected.
Sometimes even excellent Homer nods.
Mighty to inspire new hopes, and able to drown the bitterness of cares.
On day is pressed on by another.
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.
