Wealth makes an ugly person beautiful to look on and an incoherent speech eloquent; and wealth alone can enjoy pleasure even in sickness and can conceal its miseries.

To live without evil belongs only to the gods.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

Sleep, ignorant of pain, sleep, ignorant of grief, may you come to us blowing softly, kindly, kindly come king.

The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.

Deem no man happy until he passes the edo fhis life without suffering grief.

Chance never helps those who do not help themselves.
