It is a light thing for whoever keeps his foot outside trouble to advise and counsel him that suffers.

It is an easy thing for one whose foot is on the outside of calamity to give advice and to rebuke the sufferer.

Whoever is new to power is always harsh.

We must pronounce him fortunate who has ended his life in fair prosperity.

For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease; he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.

That grief is light which can take counsel.
