Our happiness depends on wisdom all
There are some who praise a man
Reverence does not die with mortals
Profit is sweet, even if it comes
Quick decisions are unsafe
Rather fail with honor than succeed
Reason is God's crowning gift to
Silence is an ornament for women
Success is dependent on effort
The dice of Zeus always fall
The gods plant reason in mankind,
The keenest sorrow is to recognize
The rewards of virtue alone abide
One word frees us of all the weight
Much wisdom often goes with fewest
The oaths of a woman I inscribe on
No treaty is ever an impediment to
Money is the worst currency that
Much speech is one thing, well-
Trust dies but mistrust blossoms
No enemy is worse than bad advice
There is a point at which even
No man loves the bearer of bad
No one longs to live more than
No lie ever reaches old age
No speech can stain what is noble
One who knows how to show and to
Not all things are to be discovered
Not even Ares battles against
Not even old age knows how to love
Not knowing anything is the
Not to be born is, past all prizing
Now I see that going out into the
Old age and the passage of time
No one who errs unwillingly is evil
Wisdom is the supreme part of
To him who is in fear everything
Whoever gets up and comes to grips
Whoever grows angry amid troubles
Whoever lives among many evils just
Whoever neglects the arts when he
Whoever thinks his friend more
When trouble ends even troubles
Whoever understands how to do a
When a man has lost all happiness,
Wisdom outweighs any wealth
Wise thinkers prevail everywhere
Without labor nothing prospers
You should not consider a man's age
You win the victory when you yield
He who throws away a friend is as
Men should pledge themselves to
Whoever thinks that he alone has
Things gained through unjust fraud
There is an ancient saying among
There is no greater evil for men
There is no greater evil than
There is no sense in crying over
There is no success without
There is no witness so terrible and
Who seeks shall find
There is some pleasure even in
There is a time when even justice
Those whose life is long still
Time alone reveals the just man;
To be doing good deeds is man's
To give birth is a fearsome thing;
To live without evil belongs only
War never takes a wicked man by
What house, bloated with luxury,
There is nothing more hateful than
Even a poor man can receive honors
For those whose wit becomes the
But this is a true saying among men
But whoever gives birth to useless
Children are the anchors of a
Despair often breeds disease
Do not grieve yourself too much for
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly
Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do
Bear up, my child, bear up; Zeus
Evil counsel travels fast
Foolishness is indeed the sister of
For death is not the worst, but
For shameful deeds are taught by
For the dead there are no more
For the wretched one night is like
Don't you know that silence
A wise doctor does not mutter
A day lays low and lifts up again
A fearful man is always hearing
A human being is only breath and
A lie never lives to be old
A man growing old becomes a child
A short saying often contains much
Better not to exist than live
A state is not a state if it
Evil gains work their punishment
A wise man does not chatter with
A word does not frighten the man
