Each say following another, either hastening or putting off our death--what pleasure does it bring? I count that man worthless whois cheered by empty hopes. No, a noble man must either live or die well.

Pardon, and keep silent, for what is shameful for women must be concealed among women.

Success, remember is the reward of toil.

For the dead there are no more toils.

Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.

How terrible is wisdom, when it brings no profit to the man that's wise

A prudent man should neglect no circumstances.
