Invite your friend to a feast, but leave your enemy alone; and especially invite the one who lives near you.
Actions from youth, advice from the middle-aged, prayers from the aged.
Invite your friend to dinner; have nothing to do with your enemy.
No day is wholly unproductive of good.
Do not get a name as overly lavish or too inhospitable.
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.
