HOMO SUM, by Georg Ebers, v5 [GE#60][ge60v10.txt]5498
He out of the battle can easily boast of being unconquered
Pray for me, a miserable man—for I was a man
HOMO SUM, by Ebers, Complete [GE#61][ge61v10.txt]5499
Action trod on the heels of resolve
Can such love be wrong?
He who wholly abjures folly is a fool
He out of the battle can easily boast of being unconquered
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
Overlooks his own fault in his feeling of the judge's injustice
Pray for me, a miserable man—for I was a man
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
Some caution is needed even in giving a warning
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
Who can point out the road that another will take
SERAPIS, by Georg Ebers, v1 [GE#62][ge62v10.txt]5501
Christian hypocrites who pretend to hate life and love death
He may talk about the soul—what he is after is the girl
Love means suffering—those who love drag a chain with them
To her it was not a belief but a certainty
Trifling incident gains importance when undue emphasis is laid
SERAPIS, by Georg Ebers, v2 [GE#63][ge63v10.txt]5502
People who have nothing to do always lack time
Perish all those who do not think as we do
Reason is a feeble weapon in contending with a woman
Words that sounded kindly, but with a cold, unloving heart
SERAPIS, by Georg Ebers, v3 [GE#64][ge64v10.txt]5503
Pretended to see nothing in the old woman's taunts
Very hard to imagine nothingness
