The gods plant reason in mankind, of all good gifts the highest.
If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
Oh child, may you be happier than your father, but in all other respects alike. And then you would not be bad.
You don't know what kind of day you will have, until evening.
To live without evil belongs only to the gods.
For no one loves the bearer of bad tidings.
