It is when we are in misery that we revere the gods; the prosperous seldom approach the altar.
Make haste! The tide of Fortune soon ebbs.
Virtue herself is her own fairest reward.
Where two take counsel there is no lack of plans.
Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger.
Nothing fairer than peace is given to man to know; Better one peace than countless triumphs
