Man's worst ill is stubbornness of heart.
Death is not the worst evil, but rather when we wish to die and cannot.
Not even Ares battles against necessity.
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
Even the stout of heart shrink when they see the approach of death.
If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
