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

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.

Potter is potter's enemy, and craftsman is craftsman's rival; tramp is jealous of tramp, and singer of singer.

It will not always be summer: build barns.

Love those who love you, help those you help you, and give to those who give to you.

Best is the man who thinks for himself.
