For, once begun, Your task is easy; half the work is done.

It is no easy matter to say commonplace things in an original way.

For example, the tiny ant, a creature of great industry, drags with its mouth whatever it can, and adds it to the heap which she is piling up, not unaware nor careless of the future.

Sport begets tumultuous strife and wrath, and wrath begets fierce quarrels and war to the death.

Nos numeros sumus et fruges consumere nati. We are but ciphers, born to consume earth's fruits.

Be not caught by the cunning of those who appear in a disguise.

Wealth increaseth, but a nameless something is ever wanting to our insufficient fortune.
