[All]: Lat. parallels: (Dist. I, 34) Vincere cum possis, interdum cede sodali, / obsequio quoniam dulces retinentur amici ‘When you are able to win, now and again give in to a friend, since good friends are kept by giving in’; (Dist. I, 38) Quem superare potes, interdum vince ferendo, / maxima enim morum semper patientia virtus ‘Conquer the one you can overcome now and again with tolerance, for the greatest virtue in behaviour is always patience’. The first two ll. echo Hsv 28.
