There is no harbor of peace from the changing waves of joy and despair.
Often a noble face hides filthy ways.
If there are none [gods], All our toil is without meaning.
We must believe in the gods no longer if injustice is to prevail over justice.
In my opinion, the unjust man whose tongue is full of glozing rhetoric, merits the heaviest punishment; vaunting that he can with his tongue gloze over injustice, he dares to act wickedly, yet he is not over-wise.
Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends.
