It is when we are in misery that we revere the gods; the prosperous seldom approach the altar.
Nothing fairer than peace is given to man to know; Better one peace than countless triumphs
Virtue herself is her own fairest reward.
Make haste! The tide of Fortune soon ebbs.
Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger.
Groundless superstition ill befits an army; valor is the only deity that rules in the warrior's breast.
