Stop short of your appetite; eat less than you are able.
Only begin, and you will become eloquent of yourself.
Wine gives courage and makes men more apt for passion.
The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.
He is a foolish swimmer who swims against the stream, when he might take the current sideways.
If you count the sunny and the cloudy days of the whole year, you will find that the sunshine predominates.
