Zeus detests above all the boasts of a proud tongue.

For the dead there are no more toils.

In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.

Stubbornness and stupidity are twins.

There is no happiness where there is no wisdom; No wisdom but in submission to the gods. Big words are always punished, And proud men in old age learn to be wise.

The rewards of virtue alone abide secure.

For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.
