Time alone reveals the just man; but you might discern a bad man in a single day.

Silence is an ornament for women.
Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life.
But whoever gives birth to useless children, what would you say of him except that he has bred sorrows for himself, and furnishes laughter for his enemies.
If you have done terrible things, you must endure terrible things; for thus the sacred light of injustice shines bright.
If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
Always desire to learn something useful.
For the dead there are no more toils.
Evil counsel travels fast.
If my body is enslaved, still my mind is free.
