Fr. 356 (Creusa)
“The most noble thing is to be just.
The best thing is to live without sickness; the sweetest is when
A man has the ability to get what he wants each day.”
κάλλιστόν ἐστι τοὔνδικον πεφυκέναι,
λῷστον δὲ τὸ ζῆν ἄνοσον, ἥδιστον δ’ ὅτῳ
πάρεστι λῆψις ὧν ἐρᾷ καθ’ ἡμέραν
Fr. 375 (Laocoon)
“There is no account of pain that has gone by”
μόχθου γὰρ οὐδεὶς τοῦ παρελθόντος λόγος
Fr. 410 (The Mysians)
“No one is pain-free: the man who has the least
is the luckiest.”
ἄμοχθος γὰρ οὐδείς• ὁ δ’ ἥκιστ’ ἔχων
μακάρτατος
Fr. 434 (Nauplius)
“A single night seems like ten thousand for a man
Who suffers, but even daybreak surprises a man doing well.”
τῷ γὰρ κακῶς πράσσοντι μυρία μία
νύξ ἐστιν, εὖ παθόντα δ’ ἡμέρα φθάνει
