What you cannot enforce, do not command.

No man loves life like him that's growing old.

To him who is in fear everything rustles.

It is not righteousness to outrage<br /> A brave man dead, not even though you hate him.

Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good<br /> That lies within their hands, till they have lost it.

Of all human ills, greatest is fortune's wayward tyranny.

For God hates utterly<br /> The bray of bragging tongues.

Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver.

How dreadful it is when the right judge judges wrong!

Money: There's nothing in the world so demoralizing as money.

Nobody likes the man who brings bad news.

Numberless are the world's wonders, but none<br /> More wonderful than man.

Reason is God's crowning gift to man.

Show me the man who keeps his house in hand,<br /> He's fit for public authority.

The ideal condition<br /> Would be, I admit, that men should be right by instinct;<br /> But since we are all likely to go astray,<br /> The reasonable thing...

There is no happiness where there is no wisdom;<br /> No wisdom but in submission to the gods.<br /> Big words are always punished,<br /> And proud men in...

Wisdom outweighs any wealth.

Truly, to tell lies is not honorable;<br /> but when the truth entails tremendous ruin,<br /> To speak dishonorably is pardonable.

Death is not the worst thing; rather, when one who craves death cannot attain even that wish.

Death is not the worst; rather, in vain<br /> To wish for death, and not to compass it.
