IPPUBLILIUS SYRUSIt is more than punisliment to let one live inmisery.Who steals another's modesty loses his own.Patience of mind has secret wealth.Dumb grief thinks of much worse to come.Money alone isthe ruling principle of the world.Modesty, once dismissed, never returns to favour.Only want sets a limit to waste.Punishment <strong>with</strong> creeping pace comes on theoffender in the moment of his haste.'Tis more than punishment to yield to WTong.The pain that kills pain acts as medicine.The man who unites patience <strong>and</strong> courage secureshis own happiness.In peace one must forecast the sinews of war.The parent enraged is most cruel to himself.A gift is lost, not presented, unless there be recollectionof it.In overlooking even a good man's offences, you wouldimpair the laws.^^® t probe delicta cum legas deteras codd., Meyer : probiIngol. : cum tegas Spengel : cum neglegas ( ? neglegas),leges teras Woel/fiin.8lVOL.
