Nobody likes the bringer of bad news.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

Why should man fear since chance is all in all for him, and he can clearly foreknow nothing? Best to live lightly, as one can, unthinkingly.

To him who is afraid, everything rustles.

Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.

For God hates utterly the bray of bragging tongues.

Often have brief words laid men low and then raise them up.
