Pindar

War is sweet for those who haven't experienced it.

Water is the best of all things.

Unsung, the noblest deed will die.

Not every truth is the better for showing its face undisguised; and often silence is the wisest thing for a man to heed.

The test of any man lies in action.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full the resources that are within thy reach.

Men are the dreams of a shadow.

Water is best, but gold shines like fire blazing in the night, supreme of lordly wealth.

Though God alone never tastes woe, _x000D_ Yet that man is happy, and poets sing of him, _x000D_ Who conquers with hand or swift foot _x000D_ And wins the greatest of prizes _x000D_ By steadfastness and strength.

Even success softens not the heart of the envious.

Success for the striven washes away the effort of striving.

A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.

Forge thy tongue on an anvil of truth and what flies up, though it be but a spark, will have light.
