There is an ancient saying among men that you cannot thoroughly understand the life of mortals before the man has died, then only can you call it good or bad.
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
The oaths of a woman I inscribe on water.
Not knowing anything is the sweetest life.
No one longs to live more than someone growing old.
Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.
Don’t you know that silence supports the accuser’s charge?
It is terrible to speak well and be wrong.
The gods plant reason in mankind, of all good gifts the highest.
