Publilius Syrus

He is foolish to blame the sea that is shipwrecked twice.

You must endure what is painful to secure that which is profitable.

In doubtful matters boldness is everything.

It is of no profit to have learned well, if you neglect to do well.

The sweetest pleasure arises from difficulties overcome.

He who has a mind to do mischief will always find a pretense.

Powerful indeed is the empire of habit.

It is foolish to fear that which you cannot avoid. -Stultum est timere quod vitare non potes

Observation, not old age, brings wisdom.

Poverty wants much; but avarice, everything.

The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the governed.

Unless you make allowances for your friends foibles, you betray your own.

Deliberando saepe perit occasio [The opportunity often slips away while we deliberate on it].

He who has lost honor can lose nothing more.

They live ill who expect to live always.

The coward regards himself as cautious, the miser as thrifty.

It is foolish to fear what you cannot avoid.

To lose a friend is the greatest of all losses.

He whom many fear, has himself many to fear.

We must master our good fortune, or it will master us.

Fortune is like glass - the brighter the glitter, the more easily broken.
