Life is a struggle.
There is no man absolutely free. He is a slave to wealth, or fortune, or the laws, or else the people prevent him from acting according to his exclusive will.
What is expected does not happen, it is the unexpected that occurs.
Ill-gotten gains result in losses.
When there is an excess of love, the man loses his honor and his worth.
The one who speaks to a fool, even if they are wise, will also appear foolish.
