If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
For the dead there are no more toils.
What is to be taught I learn; what is to be discovered I seek; what is to be prayed for I sought from the gods.
Nobody likes the man who brings bad news.
Wisdom is the most important part of happiness.
It is God's giving if we laugh or weep.
