“Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity.”

“* Pindar, a Thebian Greek wrote (circa 350 B.C.E.) War is sweet to those who have no experience of it. But the experienced man trembles exceedingly in his heart at its approach.”

“מוטב לגרום לקנאה מאשר לרחמים.”

“אל נא תגלה ברבים את צרתך.”

“מי שמנחית מכות מקבל מהלומות.”

“זהו שיגעון הרה אסון להיאנח על מה שאין ביכולתנו להשיג.”

“הבה נדע לשים גבול לשאפתנותנו.”

“קיימות נסיבות שבהן על האמת להישאר נסתרת.”

“האושר אינו מאיר פניו לאלה ההולכים בדרך עקלקלה.”

“A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.”

“The test of any man lies in action.”

“Men are the dreams of a shadow.”

“Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach.”

“The present will not long endure.”

“The best of healers is good cheer.”

“Even wisdom has to yield to self-interest.”

“Great deeds give choice of many tales. Choose a slight tale, enrich it large, and then let wise men listen.”

“The days that are still to come are the wisest witnesses.”

“Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.”

“Creatures of a day. What is someone? What is no one? Man is the dream of a shadow.”
