To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter.

The greatest pleasure of life is love.

Destiny waits alike for the free man as well as for him enslaved by another’s might.

Whenever a man makes haste, God too hastens with him.

There is no disgrace in an enemy suffering ill at an enemy’s hand, when you hate mutually.

Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.

Friends show their love in times of trouble.

Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.

Be bold and boast, just like the cock beside the hen.

For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.

Everyone’s quick to blame the alien.

Authority is never without hate.

The pen is the tongue of the mind.

Time as he grows old teaches all things.

Call no man happy till he is dead.

Neither a life of anarchy nor one beneath a despot should you praise; to all that lies in the middle a god has given excellence.

No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.
