The good man makes others good.
It is not hoary hairs that bring wisdom; some have an old head on young shoulders.
Being mortal, never pray for an untroubled life. Rather, ask the God to give you an enduring heart.
If you want to live your whole life free from pain you must become either a god or else a corpse. Consider other men's troubles and that will comfort you.
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
The truth sometimes not sought for comes forth to the light.
