For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward; of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.

To a good man nothing that happens is evil.

For though a man should be a complete unbeliever in the being of gods; if he also has a native uprightness of temper, such persons will detest evil in men; their repugnance to wrong disinclines them to commit wrongful acts; they shun the unrighteous and are drawn to the upright.

All men, well interrogated, answer well.

Fly from the company of the wicked--fly and turn not back.

Prefer diligence before idleness, unless you esteem rust above brightness.

You can remember, a single deluge only, but there were many previous ones.
