Best of children, sisters arm-in-arm, we must bear what the gods give us to bear-- don't fire up your hearts with so much grief. No reason to blame the pass you've come to now.

Time, which sees all things, has found you out.

Oh child, may you be happier than your father, but in all other respects alike. And then you would not be bad.

In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.

There is no greater evil for men than the constraint of fortune.

It's impossible to speak what it is not noble to do.

Time alone reveals the just man; but you might discern a bad man in a single day.
