Fortune exempts many from punishment; from fear, no one.
It is natural for those who have done wrong to be afraid.
The light is irksome to a bad conscience.
The guilty have sometimes the good fortune not to be found out; never the certainty of it.
Good precepts, if you often reflect upon them, will profit you equally with good examples.
If thou wouldst gain the favor of the gods, be good.
He adequately worships the gods who imitates them.
It suffices God that he be worshiped and loved; love cannot be mixed with fear.
What thou hast learned, confirm by doing.
A great and holy spirit, it is true, holds converse with us, but it cleaves to its origin.
