THE EMPEROR, by Ebers, Complete [GE#55][ge55v10.txt]5493
A well-to-do man always gets a higher price than a poor one
Avoid all useless anxiety
Dried merry-thought bone of a fowl
Enjoy the present day
Facts are differently reflected in different minds
Feeling themselves oppressed by the benevolence
Happiness is only the threshold to misery
Have not yet learned not to be astonished
Have lived to feel such profound contempt for the world
I must either rest or begin upon something new
Idleness had long since grown to be the occupation of his life
If one only knew who it is all for
Ill-judgment to pronounce a thing impossible
In order to find himself for once in good company—(Solitude)
Incomprehensible set no limits to his thirst for knowledge
It was such a comfort once more to obey an order
Love laughs at locksmiths
More to the purpose to think of the future than of the past
Never speaks a word too much or too little
Philosophers who wrote of the vanity of writers
So long as we do not think ourselves wretched, we are not so
Temples would be empty if mortals had nothing left to wish for
They keep an account in their heart and not in their head
To know half is less endurable than to know nothing
When a friend refuses to share in joys
Who do all they are able and enjoy as much as they can get
Wide world between the purpose and the deed
Years are the foe of beauty
You must admire it, every connoisseur must
Youth has a right to go astray now and then
HOMO SUM, by Georg Ebers, v1 [GE#56][ge56v10.txt]5494
Action trod on the heels of resolve
Homo sum; humani nil a me alienum puto
I am human, nothing that is human can I regard as alien to me
Love is at once the easiest and the most difficult
Love overlooks the ravages of years and has a good memory
No judgment is so hard as that dealt by a slave to slaves
No man is more than man, and many men are less
Sky as bare of cloud as the rocks are of shrubs and herbs
Sleep avoided them both, and each knew that the other was awake
The older one grows the quicker the hours hurry away
To pray is better than to bathe
Wakefulness may prolong the little term of life
HOMO SUM, by Georg Ebers, v2 [GE#57][ge57v10.txt]5495
He who wholly abjures folly is a fool
Some caution is needed even in giving a warning
Who can point out the road that another will take
HOMO SUM, by Georg Ebers, v3 [GE#58][ge58v10.txt]5496
Overlooks his own fault in his feeling of the judge's injustice
HOMO SUM, by Georg Ebers, v4 [GE#59][ge59v10.txt]5497
Can such love be wrong?
