Gifts, believe me, captivate both men and Gods, Jupiter himself was won over and appeased by gifts.

Virtue and vice, evil and good, are siblings, or next-door neighbors, Easy to make mistakes, hard to tell them apart.

As the mind of each man is conscious of good or evil, so does he conceive within his breast hope or fear, according to his actions.

The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool.

Be bold, take courage... and be strong of soul

The result proves the wisdom of the act.

Sleep, nature's rest, divine tranquility, That brings peace to the mind.
