Everyone is bound to bear patiently the results of his own example.

—Phaedrus

Virtutis expers verbis jactans gloriam
Ignotos fallit, notis est derisui.
A coward boasting of his courage may deceive strangers,
but he is a laughing-stock to those who know him.

—Phaedrus

Virtutis expers verbis jactans gloriam
Ignotos fallit, notis est derisui.
A coward boasting of his courage may deceive strangers,
but he is a laughing-stock to those who know him.

—Phædrus

Sæpe intereunt aliis meditantes necem. Those who plot the destruction of others often fall themselves.
