“Amicu certus in re incerta cernitur' [A true friend is a friend when in difficulty]”

“He who conquers is not the victor unless the loser considers himself beaten (qui vincit non est victor nisi victus fatebur).”

“The victor is not victorious if the vanquished does not consider himself so.”

“Not him with great possessions should you in truth call blest; with better right does he claim the name of happy man who realizes how to make use of the gods' gifts wisely, is skilled to meet harsh poverty and endure, as one who dreads dishonor far more than death; a man like that for friends beloved, or for his country fears not to perish.”

“Cease to ask what the morrow will bring forth, and set down as gaineach day that fortune grants.”

“The deepest rivers flow with the least sound.”

“Bis repetita non placent”
