He who sings frightens away his ills.
Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
Nor has his death the world deceiv'd than his wondrous life surprise d; if he like a madman liv'd least he like a wise one dy'd.
A knowledge of thyself will preserve thee from vanity.
True valor lies in the middle between cowardice and rashness.
Though Gods attributes are equal, yet his mercy is more attractive and pleasing in our eyes than his justice.
