Aegis-bearing Zeus has a design for each occasion, and mortals find this hard to comprehend.

It is a hard thing for a man to be righteous, if the unrighteous man is to have the greater right.

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

Do not get a name as overly lavish or too inhospitable.

A sparing tongue is the greatest treasure among men.

For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one.

Labor is no disgrace.
