He's only harming himself who's bent upon harming another
How easily some light report is set about, but how difficult to bear.
Hunger is an altogether fit companion for the idle man.
The man who does evil to another does evil to himself, and the evil counsel is most evil for him who counsels it.
Preserve the mean; the opportune moment is best in all things.
But they who give straight judgements to strangers and to those of the land and do not transgress what is just, for them the city flourishes and its people prosper.
