The race of gods and men is one, and from one mother we both draw our breath. Yet all the difference in our power holds us apart, so that man is nothing, but the brazen floor of heaven is eternally unshakable.
PindarNot every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.
PindarGreat deeds give choice of many tales. Choose a slight tale, enrich it large, and then let wise men listen
