There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course; a quiet conscience.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Soon all of you immortals Will be as dead as we are! Come on then, what are you waiting for? Have you run out of thunderbolts?

Joint undertakings stand a better chance when they benefit both sides.

Time will bring healing.

Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.

Everyone asks if a man is rich, no one if he is good.

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.
