Hesiod

Eros is the architect of the universe.

Observe due measure, for timing is in all things the most important factor.

He harms himself who does harm to another, and the evil plan is most harmful to the planner.

Fallow land is kind to children, and keeps off the hexes.

The dawn sets man on the road, and also puts him to work.

It is from work that men are rich in flocks and wealthy, and a working man is much dearer to the immortals.

He is happy whom the Muses love. For though a man has sorrow and grief in his soul, yet when the servant of the Muses sings, at once he forgets his dark thoughts and remembers not his troubles. Such is the holy gift of the Muses to men.

Often a whole community together suffers in consequence of a bad man who does wrong and contrives evil.

…Perses, hear me out on justice, and take what I have to say to heart; cease thinking of violence. For the son of Kronos, Zeus, has ordained this law to men: that fishes and wild beasts and winged birds should devour one another, since there is no justice in them; but to mankind he gave justice which proves for the best.

No gossip ever dies away entirely, if many people voice it: It too is a kind of divinity.
