All a man's affairs become diseased when he wishes to cure evils by evils.
For no one loves the bearer of bad tidings.
Let men be wise by instinct if they can, but when this fails be wise by good advice.
Opportunity has power over all things.
Whoever lives among many evils just as I, how can dying not be a source of gain?
A day lays low and lifts up again all human things.
