Alas, how quickly the gratitude owed to the dead flows off, how quick to be proved a deceiver.
Let a man nobly live or nobly die.
Count no mortal fortunate till he has departed this life free from pain.
It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.
A wise man does not chatter with one whose mind is sick.
The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.
