To have found you is a dear happiness; and to be Apollo's son is beyond all my hopes; but there is something I want to say to you alone. Come; this is a private matter between us two - anything you tell me shall be as secret as the grave.

Out of some little thing, too free a tongue can make an outrageous wrangle.

This is sweet to see your foe, perish and pay to justice all he owes.

The good and the wise lead quiet lives.

Leave no stone untamed.

Ignorance of one's misfortunes is clear gain.

Moderation, the noblest gift of Heaven.
