“Arrogance is truly the child of impiety, but from health of soul comes happiness, dear to all, much prayed for.”

Excessive fear is always powerless.

Simple is the speech of truth.

By the sword you did your work, and by the sword you die.

Know yourself and fit yourself to new fashions. For there is a new ruler among the gods.

When evil come on those we dearly love, never shall we betray them.

There is no avoidance in delay.

Fear is stronger than arms.

Give me an answer which is plain to understand.

Horror gives place to wonder at your true account; The rest outstrips our comprehension; we give up.

Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering.

Call no man happy till he is dead.

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

The reward of suffering is experience.

When a man’s willing and eager the god’s join in.

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart’s controls.

We spoil ourselves with scruples long as things go well.

It has been the political career of this man to begin with hypocrisy, proceed with arrogance, and finish with contempt.

The arrogant ego desires respect, whereas the humble worker inspires respect.

Arrogance can lead to death.

As humans grew stronger, I think that we became quite arrogant, losing the sorrow of ‘we have no other choice.’

Man in his arrogance thinks himself a great work, worthy of the interposition of a deity. More humble, and I believe truer, to consider him created from animals.

The line between confidence and arrogance is very fine, and the line between arrogance and stupidity even finer.

Undisguised clarity is easily mistaken for arrogance.

In the past, humans hesitated when they took lives, even non-human lives. But society had changed, and they no longer felt that way.
