The shimmering night does not stay for mortals, not misfortunes, nor wealth, but in a moment it is gone, and to the turn of another comes joy and loss.

The gods love those of ordered soul.

Heaven never helps the man who will not help himself

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

Of no mortal say, 'That man is happy,' till vexed by no grievous ill he pass Life's goal.

A lie never lives to be old.

If my body is enslaved, still my mind is free.
