If one begins all deeds well, it is likely that they will end well too.

Why should man fear since chance is all in all for him, and he can clearly foreknow nothing? Best to live lightly, as one can, unthinkingly.

A broad-backed ox can be driven straight on his road even by a small goad.

It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.

If I am young, then you should look not to age but to deeds.

If it were possible to heal sorrow by weeping and to raise the dead with tears, gold were less prized than grief.

I recommend...bread, meat, vegetables, and beer.
