Mediocrity is not allowed to poets, either by the gods or men.
In hard times, no less than in prosperity, preserve equanimity.

Remember to preserve a calm soul amid difficulties.
As we speak cruel time is fleeing. Seize the day, believing as little as possible in tomorrow.
It is not every man that can afford to go to Corinth.
