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’.
