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.
Joint undertakings stand a better chance when they benefit both sides.
Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.
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?
Everyone asks if a man is rich, no one if he is good.
Do we, holding that the gods exist, deceive ourselves with insubstantial dreams and lies, while random careless chance and change alone control the world?
Time will bring healing.
Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.
Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday.
The wisest men follow their own direction.
The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.
