Of themselves diseases come upon men continually by day and by night, bringing mischief to mortals silently; for wise Zeus took away speech from them. So is there no way to escape the will of Zeus

Even though it's hard, it's easy.

So the people will pay the penalty for their kings' presumption, who, by devising evil, turn justice from her path with tortuous speech.

It will not always be summer: build barns.

Do not let any sweet-talking woman beguile your good sense with the fascinations of her shape. It's your barn she's after.

Gossip and rumor are evil; easy to lift up, heavy to carry, and hard to put down again.

And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men too, when they, at their birth, have grey hair on their temples.
