Silence is an ornament for women.
The rewards of virtue alone abide secure.
Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life.
War never takes a wicked man by chance, the good man always.
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
To him who is in fear everything rustles.
It is terrible to speak well and be wrong.
A soul that is kind and intends justice discovers more than any sophist
To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.
Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future.
Time alone reveals the just man but you might discern a bad man in a single day.
Kindness gives birth to kindness.
What fate can be worse than to know we have no one but ourselves to blame for our misfortunes!
Seize the hour.
Without labor nothing prospers.
Evil gains work their punishment.
It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.
Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.
Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
Is anyone in all the world safe from unhappiness?
