Sleep, thou patron of mankind, Great physician of the mind Who does nor pain nor sorrow know, Sweetest balm of every woe.

One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

To him who is afraid, everything rustles.

Old age and the passage of time teach all things.

Wisdom is a dreadful thing when it brings no knowledge to its possessor.

Of no mortal say, 'That man is happy,' till vexed by no grievous ill he pass Life's goal.

Evil counsel travels fast.
