Honor modesty more than your life.
Old men are always young enough to learn with profit.
There is no avoidance in delay.
For hostile word let hostile word be paid.
Destiny waits alike for the free man as well as for him enslaved by another's might.
Human prosperity never rests but always craves more, till blown up with pride it totters and falls. From the opulent mansions pointed at by all passers-by none warns it away, none cries, 'Let no more riches enter!'.
