Bacchylides(?), fr.57 (S-M)

Ἀλάθεια θεῶν ὁμόπολις,
μόνα θεοῖς συνδιαιτωμένα.

Truth shares a city with the gods; she alone lives together with gods.

Bacchylides, Victory Odes 1.62-67

ἶσον ὅ τ᾽ ἀφνεὸς ἱ-
μείρει μεγάλων ὅ τε μείων
παυροτέρων· τὸ δὲ πάν-
των εὐμαρεῖν οὐδὲν γλυκὺ
θνατοῖσιν, ἀλλ’ αἰεὶ τὰ φεύ-
γοντα δίζηνται κιχεῖν.

The rich man longs for great things, and the poorer man for less. Yet there is nothing sweet for mortals in having abundance; instead they are always seeking to reach things that flee from them.

Bacchylides, fr.25 (S-M)

παύροισι δὲ θνατῶν τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον δαίμων ἔδωκεν
πράσσοντας ἐν καιρῷ πολιοκρόταφον
γῆρας ἱκνεῖσθαι πρὶν ἐγκύρσαι δύᾳ.

God has allowed few mortals to prosper for their whole lives and to reach grey-templed old age before they meet with woe.
