Σελίδα 128 - Saxa movere sono testudinis et prece blanda Ducere quo vellet. Fuit haec sapientia quondam, Publica privatis secernere, sacra profanis, Concubitu prohibere vago, dare jura maritis, Oppida moliri, leges incidere ligno ; Sic honor et nomen divinis vatibus atque 400 Carminibus venit.
Σελίδα 415 - That whatever is, always has been from eternity, without deriving its existence from any prior principle ; that nature is one and without limit ; that what is one is similar in all its parts, else it would be many ; that the one infinite, eternal, and homogeneous universe, is immutable and incapable of change...

Taking it for granted, that every...
Σελίδα 145 - Be r.ot unmindful of the miseries of others. If you are handsome, do handsome things ; if deformed, supply the defects of nature by your virtues. Be slow in undertaking, but resolute in executing. Praise not a worthless man for the sake of his wealth. Whatever good you do, ascribe it to the gods.
