Ah yes, the gods use us mortals as footballs!
If you do anything well, gratitude is lighter than a feather; if you give offense in anything, people's wrath is as heavy as lead.
In everything the middle road is best.
He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward.
Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.
