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.

Whom the gods love dies young.

Sleep is a healing balm for every ill.

Of all the wild beasts of land or sea, the wildest is woman.

Nothing has happened to you unless you make much of it.

Conscience is a God to all mortals.

There is no such cozy combination as man and wife.
