It is not possible either to trick or escape the mind of Zeus.
Even though it's hard, it's easy.
There is also an evil report; light, indeed, and easy to raise, but difficult to carry, and still more difficult to get rid of.
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.
They are fools who do not know how much the half exceeds the whole.
The best man of all is he who knows everything himself. Good also the man who accepts another's sound advice; but the man who neither knows himself nor takes to hear what another says, he is no good at all.
