There in no one more unfortunate than the man who has never been unfortunate. for it has never been in his power to try himself.

Let us cherish and love old age; for it is full of pleasure, if you know how to use it. The best morsel is reserved for last.

Unjust rule does not last forever.

He who would arrive at the appointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways.

He that visits the sick in hopes of a legacy, but is never so friendly in all other cases, I look upon him as being no better than a raven that watches a weak sheep only to peck out its eyes.

Don't stumble over something behind you.

It's the great soul that surrenders itself to fate, but a puny degenerate thing that struggles.
