Whoever truly worships the gods loves their priests.
Give not reins to your inflamed passions: take time and a little delay; impetuosity manages all things badly.
Take time for deliberation. Haste spoils everything.
What the morrow's years might bring 'twas sin for man to know.
Give time and permit a short delay, impetuosity ruins everything.
Virtue may be cheerful without forgetting its dignity.
