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.

If one begins all deeds well, it is likely that they will end well too.

A man is nothing but breath and shadow.

There is a time when even justice brings harm.

There is no greater evil for men than the constraint of fortune.

To the man who is afraid everything rustles.

Why should man fear since chance is all in all for him, and he can clearly foreknow nothing? Best to live lightly, as one can, unthinkingly.
