If the gods do evil then they are not gods.

Of all creatures that can feel and think,
we women are the worst treated things alive

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.

Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.

No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.
