Hesiod
Let the price fixed with a friend be sufficient, and even dealing with a brother call in witnesses, but laughingly.
Hesiod

Hesiod
He is senseless who would match himself against a stronger man for he is deprived of victory and adds suffering to disgrace.
Hesiod
Aerial spirits, by great Jove design'd To be on earth the guardians of mankind: Invisible to mortal eyes they go, And mark our actions, good or bad, below: The immortal spies with watchful care preside, And thrice ten thousand round their charges glide: They can reward with glory or with gold, A power they by Divine permission hold.
Hesiod
Do not put your work off till to-morrow and the day after for a sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor one who puts off his work: industry makes work go well, but a man who puts off work is always at hand-grips with ruin.
Hesiod
A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing.
Hesiod
