Thou knowst the oer-eager vehemence of youth,How quick in temper, and in judgement weak.

You will certainly not be able to take the lead in all things yourself, for to one man a god has given deeds of war, and to another the dance, to another lyre and song, and in another wide-sounding Zeus puts a good mind.

Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is weaker than man.

Over the wine-dark sea.

By hook or by crook this peril too shall be something that we remember

Why so much grief for me? No man will hurl me down to Death, against my fate. And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you - it’s born with us the day that we are born.

Be both a speaker of words and a doer of deeds.
