He Whom The Gods Love Dies Young,

Property Is Unstable, And Youth Perishes In A Moment. Life Itself Is Held In The Grinning Fangs Of Death, Yet Men Delay To Obtain Release From The World. Alas, The Conduct Of Mankind Is Surprising.

I Regard That Man As Lost, Who Has Lost His Sense Of Shame.

It Is Easier To Begin Well Than To Finish Well.

Keep What You Have Got; The Known Evil Is Best. [lat., Habeas Ut Nactus; Nota Mala Res Optima Est.]

And One Eye-witness Weighs More Than Ten Hear-fays. Seeing Is Believing, All The World O'er.
