Ah, though a Roman, I am not less a man.
Just as We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness. So too we never taste sadness completely, as things could always be worse in some way and for this we can be grateful.
Kindness acts Not always as you think; a hated hand Renders it odious.
It is the guilt, not the scaffold, which constitutes the shame.
The greater the risk, the sweeter the fruit.
He who despises life is his life's master.
