If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.
For a murderous blow let murderous blow atone.
Fear is stronger than arms.
Call no man happy till he is dead.
Tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.
Zeus, first cause, prime mover; for what thing without Zeus is done among mortals?
