Publius Syrus was a roman slave who was considered a very wise man during his time.
Venus yields to caresses than to compunction
All men are equal in the presence of death
Allay the anger of your friend by kindness
The evil you do to others might be done to you
To dispute a drunkard is to debate an empty house
Receive an injury rather than do one
A hasty judgement is a first step towards recantation
Small loans make debtors, large ones make enemies
If you bear the faults of a friends, you make them your own
Confidence is the only bond of friendship
Time, not the will, can put an end to love
We all seek to know whether we will be rich, but no whether we will be good
Don't credit the utterances of an angry spirit
A haughty spirit in disgrace is a show for the rabble
To know when to fear is to be in the path of safety
What greater evil could you wish a miser, than long life
A rich miser suffers more than a poor sage
The more benefits bestowed, the more received
A favor granted, before it is asked is doubly acceptable
A good reputation, even in darkness keeps on shining
A good reputation is more valuable than money
