Say nothing but good of the dead.
Each day grow older, and learn something new.
Chide a friend in private and praise him in public.
True blessedness consisteth in a good life and a happy death.
In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.
If through your vices you afflicted are, Lay not the blame of your distress on God; You made your rulers mighty, gave them guards, So now you groan 'neath slavery's heavy rod.
