Words are healers of the sick tempered.
The man who boldly transgresses, amassing a great heap unjustly--by force, in time, he will strike his sail, when trouble seizes him as the yardarm is splintered. He calls on those who hear nothing and he struggles in the midst of the whirling waters. The god laughs at the hot-headed man, seeing him, who boasted that this would never happen, exhausted by distress without remedy and unable to surmount the cresting wave. He wrecks the happiness of his earlier life on the reef of Justice, and he perishes unwept, unseen.
No man looks with love on deeds that to the high Gods hateful prove.
Only through suffering do we learn
Call no man happy till he is dead.
You shall learn, though late, the lesson of how to be discreet.
Don't try to make intelligent decisions when your brain is hyped
I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths.
Whoever is new to power is always harsh.
For somehow this is tyranny's disease, to trust no friends.
Take courage; pain's extremity soon ends.
It is the nature of mortals to kick a fallen man.
For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life.
Justice, voiceless, unseen, seeth thee when thou sleepest and when thou goest forth and when thou liest down. Continually doth she attend thee, now aslant thy course, now at a later time. These lines are from a section of doubtful or spurious fragments.
Oh, it is easy for the one who stands outside the prison-wall of pain to exhort and teach the one who suffers.
Once to die is better than length of days in sorrow without end.
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
The wisest of the wise may err.
Wrong must not win by technicalities.
I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery.
The adulterer dies. An old custom, justice.
Words are the physicians of a mind diseased.
Who holds a power but newly gained is ever stern of mood.
The future you shall know when it has come; before then, forget it.
When a man takes the road to destruction, the gods help him along.
