Everything is destroyed by its own particular vice: the destructive power resides within. Rust destroys iron, moths destroy clothes, the worm eats away the wood; but greatest of all evils is envy, impious habitant of corrupt souls, which ever was, is, and shall be a consuming disease.
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado.
Marriage, if one will face the truth, is an evil, but a necessary evil.
Of all the wild beasts of land or sea, the wildest is woman.
He who labors diligently need never despair.
