Men are the dreams of a shadow.
Pindar
Every gift which is given, even though it be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection.
Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach.
The test of any man lies in action.
The best of healers is good cheer.
Learn what you are and be such.
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
Even wisdom has to yield to self-interest.
Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.
The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.
Great deeds give choice of many tales. Choose a slight tale, enrich it large, and then let wise men listen.
The present will not long endure.
