The rewards of virtue alone abide secure.
It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.
How sweet for those faring badly to forget their misfortunes even for a short time.
For even bold natures flee, whenever they see Hades close to life.
To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.
Death is not the greatest of evils; it is worse to want to die, and not be able to.
