When a man appreciates only eating and sleeping, what excellence has he over the reptiles?
Whatever is produced in haste goes hastily to waste.
A traveler without knowledge is a bird without wings.
Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it is as one who ploughs but does not sow.
If thou art of elephant-strength or of lion-claw, still peace is, in my opinion, better than strife.
Pride thyself on what virtue thou hast, and not on thy parentage.
