In front of excellence, the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it.

The dawn speeds a man on his journey, and speeds him too in his work.

The man who does evil to another does evil to himself, and the evil counsel is most evil for him who counsels it.

Peace is a nursing mother to the land.

Do not put all your goods in hollow ships.

You trust a thief when you trust a woman.

Money is life to us wretched mortals.
