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.
It is an honourable thing to be merciful to the vanquished.
Allow time and moderate delay; haste manages all things badly.
What the morrow's years might bring 'twas sin for man to know.
