Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.

If it were not for injustice, men would not know justice.

If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.

It is better to hide ignorance, but it is hard to do this when we relax over wine.

It is by disease that health is pleasant; by evil that good is pleasant; by hunger, satiety; by weariness, rest.

It is hard to contend against one's heart's desire; for whatever it wishes to have it buys at the cost of soul.

It is hard to fight against impulsive desire; whatever it wants it will buy at the cost of the soul.

It is weariness to keep toiling at the same things so that one becomes ruled by them.

It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.

Justice will overtake fabricators of lies and false witnesses.
