What greater wound is there than a false friend?
What you can't enforce, do not command.
Gentle time will heal our sorrows.
Oh child, may you be happier than your father, but in all other respects alike. And then you would not be bad.
Ill-gotten gains work evil.
Heap up great wealth in your house, if you wish, and live as a tyrant, but, if the enjoyment of these things be lacking, I would not buy the rest for the shadow of smoke as against happiness.
