For the wretched one night is like a thousand; for someone faring well death is just one more night.
No one longs to live more than someone growing old.
Death is not the greatest of evils; it is worse to want to die, and not be able to.
Men's minds are given to change in hate and friendship.
Often have brief words laid men low and then raise them up.
Heap up great wealth in your house, if you wish, and live as a tyrant, but, if the enjoyment of these things be lacking, I would not buy the rest for the shadow of smoke as against happiness.
