At the beginning of the cask and the end take thy fill but be saving in the middle; for at the bottom the savings comes too late.

Drink your fill when the jar is first opened, and when it is nearly done, but be sparing when it is half-empty; it's a poor savingwhen you come to the dregs.

Happy is the man whom the Muses love: sweet speech flows from his mouth.

Often even a whole city suffers for a bad man who sins and contrives presumptuous deeds.

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

The fool learns by suffering.

A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing.
