The man who procrastinates struggles with ruin.

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.

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

But they who give straight judgements to strangers and to those of the land and do not transgress what is just, for them the city flourishes and its people prosper.

Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.

He for himself weaves woe who weaves for others woe, and evil counsel on the counselor recoils.

There is also an evil report; light, indeed, and easy to raise, but difficult to carry, and still more difficult to get rid of.
