These are all quotes attributed to the wisest Scythian known to have lived:
The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third or shame, and the fourth for madness.
Play so you may be serious.
Every man is his own chief enemy.
The tongue is, at the same time, the best part of man, and his worst: with good government, none is more useful; without it, none is more mischievous.
Play so that you may be serious.
A vine bears three grapes, the first of pleasure, the second of drunkenness, and the third of repentance.
Written laws are like spiders’ webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful.
These written laws are just like spiders’ webs; the small and feeble may be caught and entangled in them, but the rich and mighty force through and despise them.
Wise men argue cases, fools decide them.
A man’s felicity consists not in the outward and visible blessing of fortune, but in the inward and unseen perfections and riches of the mind.
Every man is his own chief enemy.
