“Everyone knows that time is Death, that Death hides in clocks.”

“Know that death comes to everyone, and that wealth will sometimes be acquired, sometimes lost.”

Pythagoras (-585–-495 BC) ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher

Context: Know that death comes to everyone, and that wealth will sometimes be acquired, sometimes lost. Whatever griefs mortals suffer by divine chance, whatever destiny you have, endure it and do not complain. But it is right to improve it as much as you can, and remember this: Fate does not give very many of these griefs to good people.
