Yesterday and today I worked on a refined translation of the famous sayings of the Seven Greek Sages. Here is my take on them:
“To keep everything within bounds is best.” — Cleobulus of Lindos
“Not even one too many.” — Solon of Athens
“Set not your heart on the impracticable.” — Chilon of Sparta
“Most people are warped at heart.” — Bias of Priene
“Learn to know yourself.” — Thales of Miletus
“Be aware of the right time.” — Pittacus of Mytilene
“Discern the things to come.” — Periander of Corinth
Good advice, all.
