Let my heart be wise. It is the gods' best gift.
Only one in command: that's the way in the home And the way in the state when it must find Measures best for mankind.
It's the wise man who stays home when he's drunk.
Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.
My hands are clean, but my heart has somewhat of impurity.
To die with glory, if one has to die at all, is still, I think, pain for the dier.
