Of all human ills, greatest is fortune's wayward tyranny.
A human being is only breath and shadow.
Success, remember is the reward of toil.
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.
Whenever the deity contrives misfortunes for a man, he first harms their understanding.
God will not punish the man Who makes return for an injury.
