A man who takes pleasure in speaking continuously fools himself in thinking he is not unpleasant to those around him.

To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.

A fearful man is always hearing things.

Much speech is one thing, well-timed speech is another.

But the power of destiny is something awesome; neither wealth, nor Ares, nor a tower, nor dark-hulled ships might escape it.

Chance never helps those who do not help themselves.

Though a man be wise it is no shame for him to live and learn.
