Men born in hot countries love the night because it refreshes them and have a horror of light because it burns them.
Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active.
It is better to imitate ancient than modern work.
The grave will fall in upon him who digs it.
Ask advice of him who governs himself well.
When that which loves is united to the thing beloved it can rest there; when the burden is laid down it finds rest there. There will be eternal fame also for the inhabitants of that town, constructed and enlarged by him.
