He whom the gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound. |
How great in number are the little minded men |
I am always afraid of your 'something shall be done'. |
I much prefer a compliment, even if insincere, to sincere criticism. |
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within. |
If you are content, you have enough to live comfortably |
If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice. |
In everything the middle course is best: all things in excess bring trouble to men. |
It is easy to rule over the good. |
It is well for one to know more than he says. |
It well becomes a young man to be modest. |
Keep what you have; the known evil is best. |
Laws are subordinate to custom. |
Let deeds match words. |
Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words. |
