Danger (the spur of all great minds) is ever The curb to your tame spirits. - George Chapman

Achilles' baneful wrath resound, O Goddess, that imposed
Infinite sorrows on the Greeks, and many brave souls loosed
From breasts heroic, sent them far to that invisible cave
That no light comforts, and their limbs to dogs and vultures gave;
To all which Jove's will gave effect; from whom first strife begun
Betwixt Atrides, king of men, and Thetis' godlike son.

Let pride go afore, shame will follow after.

Fair words never hurt the tongue.
