Against the bold, daring is unsafe.
From Ovid
Use the occasion, for it passes swiftly.
The gods behold all righteous actions.
Give way to your opponent; thus will you gain the crown of victory.
A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man's brow.
The bold adventurer succeeds the best.
It is the poor man who'll ever count his flock.
Love is a credulous thing.
Everyone wishes that the man whom he fears would perish.
An anthill increases by accumulation. Medicine is consumed by distribution. That which is feared lessens by association. This is the thing to understand.
