You will not be a chip the richer.
It is not fair to treat as serious that which is only said in joke.
The gods play games with men as balls.
He who tries to protect himself from deception is often cheated, even when most on his guard.
Who wishes to give himself an abundance of business let him equip these two things, a ship and a woman. For no two things involve more business, if you have begun to fit them out. Nor are these two things ever sufficiently adorned, nor is any excess of adornment enough for them.
He can do most who has most power.
