He Was A Wise Man

The Man Who Melts With Social Sympathy, Though Not Allied, Is More Worth Than A Thousand Kinsmen.

Mankind . . . Possesses Two Supreme Blessings. First Of These Is The Goddess Demeter, Or Earth Whichever Name You Choose To Call Her By. It Was She Who Gave To Man His Nourishment Of Grain. But After Her There Came The Son Of Semele, Who Matched Her Present By Inventing Liquid Wine As His Gift To Man. For Filled With That Good Gift, Suffering Mankind Forgets Its Grief; From It Comes Sleep; With It Oblivion Of The Troubles Of The Day. There Is No Other Medicine For Misery.

The Company Of Just And Righteous Men Is Better Than Wealth And A Rich Estate.

There Is No Bitterness To Be Compared With That Between Two People Who Once Loved.

Oftener Than Not The Old Are Uncontrollable; Their Tempers Make Them Difficult To Deal With.
