Tabith of Harran And we are the heirs, and transmitters to our heirs, of paganism, which is honored gloriously in this world. Lucky is he who beareth the burden with a sure hope for the sake of paganism. Who hath made the world to be inhabited and flooded it with cities except the good men and kings of the pagans? Who hath constructed harbors and conserved rivers? Who hath made manifest the hidden sciences? On whom hath dawned the divinity which giveth oracles and teacheth knowledge of the future except the wise men of the pagans? It is they who have pointed out all these things, and have made to arise the healing of souls, and have made to shine forth their redemption, and it is also they who have made medicines for our bodies. And they have filled the world with the correct modes of life and with the the wisdom which is the crown of excellence. Without these products of paganism the world would be an empty and a needy place, and it would have been enveloped with sheer want and misery.
Terence
I am a man; nothing human is foreign to me.
Moderation in all things.
Lovers' quarrels are the renewal of love.
Charity begins in the home.
Draw from others the lesson that may most profit yourself.
Extreme law is often extreme injustice.
While there's life, there's hope.
In fact, nothing is said that has not been said before.
I have everything, yet have nothing; and although I possess nothing, still of nothing am I in want.
I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won't; when you won't, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination.
Fortune helps the brave.
So many men, so many opinions; every one has his own way.
Thales
All things are full of Gods.
Theognis
Try for nothing excessive. The middle degree is best. So, Kyrnos, you will win virtue, a difficult thing to attain.
Of all things not to be born into the world is best, nor to see the beams of the keen sun; but being born, as swiftly as may be to pass the gates of Hades, and lie under a heavy heap of earth.
Thrasymachus
What I say is that "just" or "right" means nothing but what is in the interests of the stronger party.
Thucydides
The kind of events that once took place will by reason of human nature take places again.
Tyrtaeus
He who falls in the vanguard and loses his dear life, has brought honor to his city and his people and his father.
Now let every man strive to reach the peak of his prowess and in his heart never relax from war.
