My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.

The high strength of men knows no content with limitation.

Of prosperity mortals can never have enough.

By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.

There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.

For the impious act begets more after it, like to the parent stock.

His resolve is not to seem the bravest, but to be.
