Death is softer by far than tyranny.
Death is easier than a wretched life and better never to have born than to...
Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.
Call no man happy till he is dead.
To be free from evil thoughts is God's best gift.
It is best for the wise man not to seem wise.
Wisdom comes alone through suffering.
By Time and Age full many things are taught.
