Despair often breeds disease.

Dreadful is the mysterious power of fate; there is no deliverance from it by wealth or by war, by walled city or dark, seabeaten ships.

To err is common to all mankind, but having erred he is no longer reckless nor unblest who haven fallen into evil seeks a cure, nor remains unmoved.

To the person who is afraid, everything rustles.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.

Knowledge must come through action.
