Call no man happy till he is dead
Greek tragedian. He is often described as the father of tragedy. Academics' knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays.
He who avoids complaint invites happiness
Our enemies are our greatest moral teachers, because they thrust our faults in our faces
Never whisper in company
He who hid well, lived well
With life as short as half taken breath, don't plant anything but love
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
