Everyone is bound to bear patiently the results of his own example.
From Phaedrus
Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt.
The humble are in danger when those in power disagree.
It is the part of a fool to give advice to others and not himself to be on his guard.
Submit to the present evil, lest a greater one befall you.
Witticisms please as long as we keep them within boundaries, but pushed to excess they cause offense.
Strangers he gulls, but friends make fun of him.
That only is a disgrace to a man which he has deserved to suffer.
The bow kept taut will quickly break, kept loosely strung, it will serve you when you need it.
In a change of masters the poor change nothing except their master's name.
