CH 27 SA Review

 
  1. It draws my new strength: I see more clearly, but I make so much worse and I do not know why.
  2. Certain songs are good; many are bad.
  3. He is the best. Nothing is better, I have seen nothing more beautiful than this.
  4. I hope you and this man's birthday and most others are about to drive with happiness.
  5. Since planning and reckoning are in old age, our ancestors called the senate our highest council.
  6. More effort and zeal should be put in domestic matters by us even in military matters.
  7. Neither was the danger graver in the republic, nor the laziness greater.
  8. We are wiser than those men, because we know nature is the best leader.
  9. Nature asks very little, but a wise man accommodates himself to nature.
  10. The greatest remedy for anger is delay.
  11. Which spirits he conquers and anger he contains I do not compare, but I say he is like a god.
  12. Dionysus, a tyrant of a most beautiful city, was a man of great temperance in his ways of life, and in all things was diligent and sharp. He too was fierce and unjust. Out of this affair, if we speak the truth, he seemed very wretched.
  13. If I cannot turn the gods, I shall disturb Acheron.
