Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger.

It is when we are in misery that we revere the gods; the prosperous seldom approach the altar.

Where two take counsel there is no lack of plans.

Nothing fairer than peace is given to man to know; Better one peace than countless triumphs

Virtue herself is her own fairest reward.

Groundless superstition ill befits an army; valor is the only deity that rules in the warrior's breast.

Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger.
