“Wisdom comes through suffering.Trouble, with its memories of pain,Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep,So men against their willLearn to practice moderation.Favours come to us from gods.”

“In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forgetfalls drop by drop upon the heartuntil, in our own despair, against our will,comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

“There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.”

“There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.”

“Memory is the mother of all wisdom. ”

“Who, except the gods, can live time through forever without any pain?”
