Page:The Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus, A Roman Slave.djvu/43

 Authority has less influence than beauty, where love is concerned.

When we yield to love, we are aiding to our own haven.

Love's anger is always hypocritical.

A laugh at the unfortunate is a wrong done him.

Committed against the unfortunate, injustice is powerful.

Life itself is an insult to the wretched.

That life is most pleasant when passed in ignorance.

Avarice is kind to no one, and most cruel towards itself.

Audacity is every thing, when the danger is critical.

A cock has great influence on his own dung-hill.

Any one can hold the helm, when the sea is calm.

When the offense is a disgrace, it is a double sin to commit it.

Pain and pleasure vie with each other in love.

The madness of love is ever delightful.

Haste is a crime, when the judge is deliberating.
