But if a man shall hope in aught he does
To escape the eyes of god, he makes an error.
Here profits not
To tell the whole truth with clear face unveiled.
Often is man's best wisdom to be silent.
A good deed hidden in silence dies.
Склонность к ссоре, поношению и зависти — спутник пустых людей.
Creatures of a day! What is a man?
What is he not? A dream of a shadow
Is our mortal being.
