Use thy noble vase to-day; to-morrow it may break.
The cat and the rat make peace over a carcass.
He who walks each day over his estate finds a coin daily.
The dog follows thee for the crumbs in thy pocket.
The soldiers fight, and the kings are heroes.
When the ox is down many are the butchers.
Descend a step in choosing thy wife; ascend a step in choosing thy friend.
Beat the gods and their priests will tremble.
The sun will set without thy assistance.
