Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger.
Make haste! The tide of Fortune soon ebbs.
Nothing fairer than peace is given to man to know; Better one peace than countless triumphs
Virtue herself is her own fairest reward.
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.
