The potter is at enmity with the potter.

He's only harming himself who's bent upon harming another

The man who does evil to another does evil to himself, and the evil counsel is most evil for him who counsels it.

And Zeus will destroy this race of mortal men too, when they, at their birth, have grey hair on their temples.

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.

Gossip and rumor are evil; easy to lift up, heavy to carry, and hard to put down again.

They are fools who do not know how much the half exceeds the whole.
