Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live; death is nigh at hand: while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.

Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.

Everything is ephemeral, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.

I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed.

Do not be ashamed of help.

I am an old man and have had many worries, but most have never come to pass.

I consist of a little body and a soul.
