An undertaking beset with danger.
While fools shun one set of faults they run into the opposite one.
Pale death knocks with impartial foot at poor men's hovels and king's palaces.
What can be found equal to modesty, uncorrupt faith, the sister of justice, and undisguised truth?
When things are steep, remember to stay level-headed.
Who knows whether the gods will add tomorrow to the present hour?
