Natural ability is by far the best, but many men have succeeded in winning high renown by skill that is the fruit of teaching.
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Great deeds give choice of many tales. Choose a slight tale, enrich it large, and then let wise men listen
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
To our own sorrows serious heed we give, But for another?s we soon cease to grieve.
O my soul, do not aspire to immortal life, but exhaust the limits of the possible.
