To Invoke Solely The Weaker

One Must Not Try To Trick Misfortune, But Resign Oneself To It With Good Grace.

Look At The Orators In Our Republics; As Long As They Are Poor, Both State And People Can Only Praise Their Uprightness; But Once They Are Fattened On The Public Funds, They Conceive A Hatred For Justice, Plan Intrigues Against The People And Attack The Democracy.

To Invoke Solely The Weaker Arguments And Yet Triumph Is An Art Worth More Than A Hundred Thousand Drachmae.

By Words The Mind Is Winged.

Prayers Without Wine Are Perfectly Pointless.
