That man is best who sees the truth himself. Good too is he who listens to wise counsel. But who is neither wise himself nor willing to ponder wisdom is not worth a straw.
Aegis-bearing Zeus has a design for each occasion, and mortals find this hard to comprehend.

It is not possible either to trick or escape the mind of Zeus.
Do not seek dishonest gains: dishonest gains are losses.
Only fools need suffer to learn.
