It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.
No lie ever reaches old age.
Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.
To him who is afraid, everything rustles.
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.
A wise doctor does not mutter incantations over a sore that needs the knife.
