No more shall ye behold such sights of woe, deeds I have suffered and myself have wrought; henceforward quenched in darkness shall ye see those ye should ne'er have seen; now blind to those whom, when I saw, I vainly yearned to know.

It is always fair sailing, when you escape evil.

A prudent man should neglect no circumstances.

What fate can be worse than to know we have no one but ourselves to blame for our misfortunes!

Look how men live, always precariously balanced between good and bad fortune.

Time alone reveals the just man; but you might discern a bad man in a single day.

Do nothing secretly; for Time sees and hears all things, and discloses all.
