“Ὡς μέγα τὸ μικρόν ἐστιν ἐν καιρῷ δοθέν.”
MENANDER. Monosticha, 752.
"How great the small gift when 'tis timely given." “Ὣς οὐδὲν γλύκιον ἧς πατρίδος οὐδὲ τοκήων γίγνεται, εἴπερ καί τις ἀπόπροθι πίονα οἶκον γαίῃ ἐν ἀλλοδαπῇ ναίει ἀπάνευθε τοκήων.”
HOMER. Odyssey, IX., 34.
"More than all pleasures that were ever made
Parents and fatherland our life still bless.
Though we rich home in a strange land possess,
Still the old memories about us cling."-(Worsley.)
“Ως οὐκ ἔστι Διὸς κλέψαι νόον, οὐδὲ παρελθεῖν.”
"None may outwit or cheat the mind of Zeus."
«Ως τἀποκλαῦσαι κἀποδύρασθαι τύχας ἐνταῦθ ̓ ὅπη μέλλοι τις οἴσεσθαι δάκρυ πρὸς τῶν κλυόντων, ἀξίαν τριβὴν ἔχει.”
AESCHYLUS. Prometheus Vinctus, 637.-(Prometheus.) "For to bewail and moan one's evil chance,
Here where one trusts to gain a pitying tear
From those who hear-this is not labour lost."—(Plumptre.)
“Ὡς τεθνηξόμενος τῶν σῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀπόλαυε,
ὡς δὲ βιωσόμενος φείδεο σῶν κτεάνων·
ἔστι δ ̓ ἀνὴρ σοφὸς οὗτος, ὃς ἄμφω ταῦτα νοήσας, φειδοῖ καὶ δαπάνῃ μέτρον ἐφηρμόσατο.”
LUCIAN. Epigrams, III.
Enjoy thy wealth as though about to die,
Yet frugal be as though of life wert sure;
A wise man he who both these rules obeys,
And strikes the mean 'twixt thrift and lavishness."
«Ὡς τοῖς κακῶς πράσσουσιν ἡδὺ καὶ βραχὺν
χρόνον λαθέσθαι τῶν παρεστώτων κακῶν.”
SOPHOCLES. Fragment (Mysis) 358. "For those who fare but ill 'tis very sweet E'en for a moment to forget their ills."-(Plumptre.)
“Ὡς χαλεπόν εἰσιν οἱ φίλοι
οἱ φαινόμενοι παραχρημ ̓ ὅταν πράττῃ τις εὖ.”
ARISTOPHANES. Plutus, 782.-(Chremylus.)
"How troublesome are friends who straight appear
When one is prosperous!"-(Wheelwright.)
“Ωσπερ γὰρ καὶ τελεωθὲν βέλτιστον τῶν ζῴων ὁ ἄνθρωπός ἐστιν, οὕτω καὶ χωρισθεν νόμου καὶ δίκης χείριστον πάντων. χαλεπωτάτη γὰρ ἀδικία ἔχουσα ὅπλα.”
ARISTOTLE. Politica, I., 2. "As man is in sum the noblest of the animals, so without law and justice is he the lowest of all. For injustice is most dangerous when armed.
“Ὥσπερ γὰρ οἰκίας, οἶμαι, καὶ πλοίου καὶ τῶν ἄλλων τῶν τοιούτων τὰ κάτωθεν ἰσχυρότατα εἶναι δεῖ, οὕτω καὶ τῶν πράξεων τὰς ἀρχὰς καὶ τὰς ὑποθέσεις ἀληθεῖς καὶ δικαίας εἶναι προσήκει.” DEMOSTHENES. Olynthiaca, II., 10.
"For just as the lowest portions of a house and a ship and other similar constructions must be very strong, so must the foundation and the principle of all our actions be based upon truth and justice."
“Ὥσπερ δὲ θνητὸν καὶ τὸ σῶμ ̓ ἡμῶν ἔφυ, οὕτω προσήκει μηδὲ τὴν ὀργὴν ἔχειν ἀθάνατον, ὅστις σωφρονεῖν ἐπίσταται,”
EURIPIDES. Philoctetes, Fragment 12.
"Even this body which we have must die;
Then 'tis not meet that he who would be wise
Should nourish in his heart undying wrath."
“Ὥσπερ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἰοῦ τὸν σίδηρον, οὕτως ἔλεγε τους φθονεροὺς ὑπὸ τοῦ ἰδίου ἤθους κατεσθίεσθαι.”
ANTISTHENES. (Diogenes Laertius, VI., 1, 4, 5.)
"Just as iron is eaten away by rust, so are the envious consumed by their envy."
“Ὥσπερ ὁ ἰός σίδηρον, οὕτως ὁ φθόνος τὴν ἔχουσαν αὐτὸν ψυχὴν ἐξαναψήχει.”
ΑΝΟΝ. (Stobaeus, Florilegium, XXXVIII., 52.)
"As rust iron, so does envy eat away the soul that harbours it." “Ὥστ ̓ εἴ τις δύο
ἢ καί τι πλείους ἡμέρας λογίζεται,
μάταιος ἐστιν. οὐ γὰρ ἐσθ ̓ ἡ γ' αὔριον,
πρὶν εὖ πάθῃ τις τὴν παροῦσαν ἡμέραν.”
SOPHOCLES. Trachiniae, 943.—(The Nurse.)
On two short days, or more, vain fool is he ;
The morrow is as nought, till one has passed
The present day in fair prosperity."--(Plumptre.)
“Ὥστε θνητὸν ὄντ ̓ ἐκείνην τὴν τελευταίαν ἰδεῖν
ἡμέραν ἐπισκοποῦντα μηδέν ̓ ὀλβίζειν, πρὶν ἂν
τέρμα τοῦ βίου περάσῃ μηδὲν ἀλγεινὸν παθών.”
SOPHOCLES. Oedipus Tyrannus, 1528.-(Chorus.) "From hence the lesson learn ye
To reckon no man happy till ye witness
The closing day; until he pass the border,
Which severs life from death, unscathed by sorrow.”(Plumptre.)
«Ὦτα γὰρ τυγχάνει ἀνθρώποισι ἐόντα ἀπιστότερα ὀφθαλμῶν.”
HERODOTUS. History, I., 8.
"Men's ears are less trustworthy than their eyes."
“Ωτα καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ πολλοὶ βασιλέως.”
LUCIAN. Adversus Indoctum, 23.
"A king has many ears and many eyes."
