Being popular is the most important thing in the world!
One who contends with immortals lives a very short life.
Which would you rather be, a conqueror in the Olympic games, or the crier that proclaims who are conquerors?
Nothing in the world is so incontinent as a man's accursed appetite.
It's man's to fight, but heaven's to give success.
Sinks my sad soul with sorrow to the grave.
