Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.
Every old poem is sacred.
The dispute is still before the judge.
No master can make me swear blind obedience.
In vain will you fly from one vice if in your wilfulness you embrace 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.
