Many brave men lived before Agamemnon; but all are overwhelmed in eternal night, unwept, unknown, because they lack a sacred poet.
With you I should love to live, with you be ready to die.
Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.
Whoever cultivates the golden mean avoids both the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
Trumpet in a herd of elephants; crow in the company of cocks; bleat in a flock of goats.
In adversity remember to keep an even mind.
Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow![Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.]
Cease to ask what the morrow will bring forth. And set down as gain each day that Fortune grants.
