For the dead there are no more toils.
Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver.
Whoever gets up and comes to grips with Love like a boxer is a fool.
Afterthought makes the first resolve a liar.
There is no happiness where there is no wisdom; No wisdom but in submission to the gods. Big words are always punished, And proud men in old age learn to be wise.
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
