Don't mess with the dead, boy, they have eerie powers.
By Jove the stranger and the poor are sent, and what to those we give, to Jove is lent.
Do not mourn the dead with the belly.
The man does better who runs from disaster than he who is caught by it.
Of men who have a sense of honor, more come through alive than are slain, but from those who flee comes neither glory nor any help.
I would rather be tied to the soil as a serf... than be king of all these dead and destroyed.
