Mars hates those who delay; but if you fear the weight of arms, now then go forth unarmed, - Euripides

Art silent? But there is no use of silence in misfortunes; for the heart which desires to hear all things, is found eager also in the case of ills. It is not indeed right, my father, to conceal thy misfortunes from friends, and even more than friends.

And I do not fear to say that those who are held Wise among men and who search the reasons of things Are those who bring the most sorrow on themselves.

Every man is like the company he is wont to keep.
