It is wrong to be sorry without ceasing.

Wine sets even a thoughtful man to singing, or sets him into softly laughing, sets him to dancing. Sometimes it tosses out a word that was better unspoken.

So it is that the gods do not give all men gifts of grace - neither good looks nor intelligence nor eloquence.

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.

The stars never lie, but the astrologers lie about the stars.

Content to follow when we lead the way.

But curb thou the high spirit in thy breast, for gentle ways are best, and keep aloof from sharp contentions.
