Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.

It is not righteousness to outrage

For every nation that lives peaceably, there will be many others to grow hard and push their arrogance to extremes; the gods attend to these things slowly. But they attend to those who put off God and turn to madness.

Fate has terrible power. You cannot escape it by wealth or war. No fort will keep it out, no ships outrun it.

Time is a kindly God.

A man who takes pleasure in speaking continuously fools himself in thinking he is not unpleasant to those around him.

Truth is always straightforward.
