If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
A man is nothing but breath and shadow.
Fortune is not on the side of the faint-hearted.
It is the task of a good man to help those in misfortune.
A man who takes pleasure in speaking continuously fools himself in thinking he is not unpleasant to those around him.
It can be no dishonor to learn from others when they speak good sense.
