Stubbornness and stupidity are twins.
Let a man nobly live or nobly die.
Now let the weeping cease; / Let no one mourn again. / These things are in the hands of God.
You cannot know a man’s life before the man / has died, then only can you call it good or bad.
A man, though wise, should never be ashamed / of learning more, and must unbend his mind.
Kindness it is that brings forth kindness always.
If they are just, they are better than clever.
There are times when even justice brings harm with it.
A man who deals in fairness with his own, / he can make manifest justice in the state.
It’s not a man’s great frame / Or breadth of shoulders makes his manhood count: / A man 01 sense has always the advantage.
