Every man can see things far off but is blind to what is near.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

There is no happiness where there is no wisdom; No wisdom but in submission to the gods. Big words are always punished, And proud men in old age learn to be wise.

Not knowing anything is the sweetest life.

Whoever gets up and comes to grips with Love like a boxer is a fool.

Stranger in a strange country.

Success is dependant on effort.
