Happy is the man whom the Muses love: sweet speech flows from his mouth.
They are fools who do not know how much the half exceeds the whole.
Do not get a name as overly lavish or too inhospitable.
Bacteria: The only culture some people have.
Gossip and rumor are evil; easy to lift up, heavy to carry, and hard to put down again.
Invite your friend to a feast, but leave your enemy alone; and especially invite the one who lives near you.
