The man who does ill must suffer ill.

Self-will in the man who does not reckon wisely is by itself the weakest of all things.

For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life.

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.

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