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