No Mortal Man, Moreover Is

Man Is The Only One That Knows Nothing, That Can Learn Nothing Without Being Taught. He Can Neither Speak Nor Walk Nor Eat, And In Short He Can Do Nothing At The Prompting Of Nature Only, But Weep.

A God Cannot Procure Death For Himself, Even If He Wished It, Which, So Numerous Are The Evils Of Life, Has Been Granted To Man As Our Chief Good.

Man Alone At The Very Moment Of His Birth, Cast Naked Upon The Naked Earth, Does She Abandon To Cries And Lamentations.

We Neglect Those Things Which Are Under Our Very Eyes, And Heedless Of Things Within Our Grasp, Pursue Those Which Are Afar Off.

Always Act In Such A Way As To Secure The Love Of Your Neighbour.
