Do not put all your goods in hollow ships.
Even though it's hard, it's easy.

And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men too, when they, at their birth, have grey hair on their temples.
Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.
You trust a thief when you trust a woman.
