Let bravery be thy choice, but not bravado.
At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool.
Art is man's refuge from adversity.
In many things it is not well to say, "Know thyself"; it is better to say, "Know others."
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.
Never ask the Gods for life set free from grief, but ask for courage that endureth long.
