When all the other animals, downcast looked upon the earth, he [Prometheus] gave a face raised on high to man, and commanded him to see the sky and raise his high eyes to the stars.

Keep thy hook always baited, for a fish lurks even in the most unlikely swim.

Anything cracked will shatter at a touch.

As the yellow gold is tried in fire, so the faith of friendship must be seen in adversity.

It is some relief to weep; grief is satisfied and carried off by tears.

Fair peace is becoming to men; fierce anger belongs to beasts.
