Wise to resolve, and patient to perform.

Modesty is of no use to a beggar.

A guest never forgets the host who has treated him kindly.

Bear patiently, my heart, for you have suffered heavier things.

It is not possible to fight beyond your strength, even if you strive.

Always to be best, and distinguished above the rest.

Each man delights in the work that suits him best.

And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared.

Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.

Even a fool learns something once it hits him.

So peaceful shalt thou end thy blissful days, And steal thyself from life by slow decays.

Death submits to no one.

Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen.

Better to live or die, once and for all, than die by inches.

Hateful to me as are the gates of hell, Is he who, hiding one thing in his heart, Utters another.

There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.

Trying is the first step toward failure.

In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!

Because they're stupid, that's why. That's why everybody does everything.
