Groundless superstition ill befits an army; valor is the only deity that rules in the warrior's breast.
Virtue herself is her own fairest reward.
Make haste! The tide of Fortune soon ebbs.
Where two take counsel there is no lack of plans.
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.
