Page:The Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus, A Roman Slave.djvu/35

 We may with advantage at times forget what we know.

Those who do injustice, hate it.

Even when the wound is healed, the scar remains.

Even when there is no law, there is conscience.

The tyrant can hardly be said to hold even a doubtful sway.

Pecuniary gain first suggested to men to make Fortune a goddess.

The fiercer the contention, the more honorable the reconciliation.

The hope of reward is the solace of labor.

The wise man corrects his own errors by observing those of others.

The further the fall, the greater the hurt.

Depravity is revealed in outward action, but its source is within.

The life which we live is but a small part of the real life.

A great man may commence life in a hovel.

He suffers exile who refuses to serve his country.
