No lie ever reaches old age.
~ Sophocles
Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way.
Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.
When a man has lost all happiness, he's not alive. Call him a breathing corpse.
Wise thinkers prevail everywhere.
Silence is an ornament for women.
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.
God's dice always have a lucky roll.
Reason is God's crowning gift to man.
A word does not frighten the man who, in acting, feels no fear.
To him who is in fear everything rustles.
Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.
You win the victory when you yield to friends.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
Profit is sweet, even if it comes from deception.
Quick decisions are unsafe decisions.
If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
A short saying often contains much wisdom.
Much wisdom often goes with fewest words.
There is no success without hardship.
Success is dependent on effort.
Men of ill judgment ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.
Whoever thinks that he alone has speech, or possesses speech or mind above others, when unfolded such men are seen to be empty.
Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future.
