The tyrant is a child of pride.
For even bold natures flee, whenever they see Hades close to life.
Man is not constituted to take pleasure in the same things always.
The end excuses any evil.
The kind of man who always thinks that he is right, that his opinions, his pronouncements, are the final word, when once exposed shows nothing there. But a wise man has much to learn without a loss of dignity.
Look how men live, always precariously balanced between good and bad fortune.
