Greek Poet and Epigramist who lived in Alexandria, Egypt
"Every ignorant man is wisest if he remains silent."
"Life is a perilous voyage."
"Today let me live well; none knows what it may be tomorrow."
"Our life's a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take it lightly, or bear its troubles patiently."
"Who can not laugh at life - and its trends fallible - and Fortune, the fickle whore, always carried in his heart, seeing the anguish that goes to the people most miserable."
"This life a theatre we well may call, Where very actor must perform with art, Or laugh it through, and make a farce of all, Or learn to bear with grace his tragic part."
"Silence is man's chief learning."
