The Honor Paid To A Wise Man

Why Should I Fear Death? If I Am, Then Death Is Not. If Death Is, Then I Am Not. Why Should I Fear That Which Can Only Exist When I Do Not? Long Time Men Lay Oppressed With Slavish Fear. Religious Tyranny Did Domineer. At Length The Mighty One Of Greece Began To Assent The Liberty Of Man.

The Wise Man Thinks Of Fame Just Enough To Avoid Being Despised.

The Noble Soul Occupies Itself With Wisdom And Friendship.

For A Wrongdoer To Be Undetected Is Difficult; And For Him To Have Confidence That His Concealment Will Continue Is Impossible.

The Guilty Man May Escape, But He Cannot Be Sure Of Doing So.
