Happy is the man whom the Muses love: sweet speech flows from his mouth.
Often even a whole city suffers for a bad man who sins and contrives presumptuous deeds.
When you deal with your brother, be pleasant, but get a witness.
The man who procrastinates struggles with ruin.
In front of excellence, the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it.
If you speak evil, you will soon be worse spoken of.
