Time is a kindly God.
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.
The truth is ever best.
Deem no man happy until he passes the edo fhis life without suffering grief.
Of all human ills, greatest is fortune's wayward tyranny.
What greater wound is there than a false friend?
