God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.
In every tyrant's heart there springs in the end this poison, that he cannot trust a friend.
Delay not to seize the hour!
God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.
God loves to help him who strives to help himself.
Fear is stronger than arms.
It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.
God always strives together with those who strive.
Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.
Wisdom comes alone through suffering.
Words are the physicians of a mind diseased.
Who except the gods can live without any pain?
There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.
To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift.
But time growing old teaches all things.
Against necessity against its strength no one can fight and win.
It is good even for old men to learn wisdom.
For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
Call no man happy till he is dead.
