Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever. - Aristophanes

HOROVOĐA MUŠKOG HORA:
Ni sa kojom zverkom no sa ženom
nije teži boj,
nit je oganj tako nit je panter
besan ijedan.

HOROVOĐA ŽENSKOG HORA:
To ti znadeš, al opet, rđo,
sa mnom ratuješ,
a ja verna mogla bih ti biti
prijateljica?

Poet: “Straton wanders among the Scythian nomads, but has no linen garment. He is sad at only wearing an animal's pelt and no tunic.” Do you get what I mean? Pisthetaerus: I understand that you want me to offer you a tunic. Hi! you (To the acolyte.) take off yours; we must help the poet. (tr. O'Neill 1938, Perseus)

Just Discourse: Do not bandy words with your father, nor treat him as a dotard, nor reproach the old man, who has cherished you, with his age. (tr. Athen. 1912, vol. 1, p. 359)
