Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.

Humility, a sense of reverence before the sons of heaven - of all the prizes that a mortal man might win, these, I say, are wisest; these are best.

I sacrifice to no god save myself - And to my belly, greatest of deities.

Slow but sure moves the might of the gods.
