One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Silence is true wisdom's best reply.

No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will.

The good and the wise lead quiet lives.

There is just one life for each of us: our own.

This is slavery, not to speak one's thought.
