He whom the gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
A woman smells well when she smells of nothing.
He is a friend indeed who proves himself a friend in need.
Where there are sheep, the wolves are never very far away.
He who dies for virtue does not perish.
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.
