Hesiod

Wealth should not be seized, but the god-given is much better.

False shame accompanies a man that is poor, shame that either harms a man greatly or profits him; shame is with poverty, but confidence with wealth.

So the people will pay the penalty for their kings' presumption, who, by devising evil, turn justice from her path with tortuous speech.

Justice prevails over transgression when she comes to the end of the race.

Mortals grow swiftly in misfortune.

At the beginning of the cask and the end take thy fill but be saving in the middle; for at the bottom the savings comes too late.

A bad neighbor is as great a calamity as a good one is a great advantage.

Whoever has trusted a woman has trusted deceivers.

For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one.

Potter is jealous of potter, and craftsman of craftsman; and the poor have a grudge against the poor, and the poet against the poet.

Happy is the man whom the Muses love: sweet speech flows from his mouth.

Try to take for a mate a person of your own neighborhood.
