Jéntáculum & merendam né cúrá Jejúnáre aliquandó expedit Sóbrius nón est ébrius	Follow the virtues Shun the vices whichh the law forbids you He that commits evil is a villain In order to be wise, provide for the end Look for the means, attend to the occasion Begin nothing rashly, deliberate long, hasten slowly Do not believe rumours, do not divulge a secret Do not affirm or deny that which you do not know about Rather, ask Be temperate, when you are hungry, eat When you thirst, drink Gluttons eat and drink excessively Let dinner and supper suffice Do not care for breakfast and a snack Sometimes it is expedient to fast A sober man is not drunk
Estó castus, gere té pudícé Estó modestus, nón procáx; taciturnus, nón loquáx Vós juvenés, colite senés Μanifésta nárrá, sécréta susurrá, occulta célá Quum quis loquitur, tacé Quum tibi quid dícit; auscultá Quum quid jubet, obtemperá Nólí té jactáre Nec sís arrogáns aut superbus Bona fáma est ingéns glória	Be chaste, carry yourself modestly Be modest, not impudent; silent, not talkative You young men, respect old men Tell things which are in plain view, conceal hidden things When someone speaks, be quiet When someone says something to you, pay attention When he commands something, obey Do not boast of yourself Do not be arrogant or proud A good repute is a great glory

Pusillanimis nón est fortis In prosperís effertur. In adversís trepidat Tu estó ad operás alacris.

Forgive him the fault Have you offended anyone? Appease and placate him It is better to bear injuries than revenge them A malicious man curses, a foolish man threatens
