Justice prevails over transgression when she comes to the end of the race.

Badness you can get easily, in quantity. The road is smooth and lies close by. But in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to do it, and rough at first. But when you come to the top, then it is easy, even though it is hard.

Keep adding little by little and it will become a big heap.

Never make a companion equal to a brother.

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

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

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