I know how men in exile feed on dreams.
And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness; and he will never come to utter ruin.
Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.
Too few rejoice at a friend's good fortune.
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
But time growing old teaches all things.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
Whoever is new to power is always harsh.
Whenever a man makes haste, God too hastens with him.
God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.
For hostile word let hostile word be paid.
You have been trapped in the inescapable net of ruin by your own want of sense.
I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils.
Who apart from the gods is without pain for his whole lifetime's length?
The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.
When a match has equal partners then I fear not.
When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?
From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.
For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.
Of prosperity mortals can never have enough.
