Wit is the flower of the imagination.
In grave difficulties, and with little hope, the boldest measures are the safest.
Those ills are easiest to bear with which we are most familiar.
The result showed that fortune helps the brave.
Fortune blinds men when she does not wish them to withstand the violence of her onslaughts.
A certain peace is better and safer than a victory in prospect; the former is at your own disposal, the latter depends upon the gods.
