If I remember right, Aelia, you had four teeth; a cough displaced two, another two more. You can now cough without anxiety all the day long. A third cough can find nothing to do in your mouth.

You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!

For life is only life when blessed with health.

There is nothing more contemptible than a bald man who pretends to have hair.

To the ashes of the dead glory comes too late.

If you have any shame, forbear to pluck the beard of a dead lion.

Be cheerful, if you are wise.
