No one longs to live more than someone growing old.
It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.
Not to be born surpasses all reckoning. The next best thing by far, when one has been born is to go back as swiftly as possible whence one came.
Look how men live, always precariously balanced between good and bad fortune.
The happiest life is to be without thought
What greater wound is there than a false friend?
