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.
Man's worst ill is stubbornness of heart.
For most men friendship is a faithless harbor.
The dice of Zeus always fall luckily.
Sleep's the only medicine that gives ease.
Things gained through unjust fraud are never secure.
