but justice is somewhere here, nearby, if you are willing to see it.

ἀλλ᾿ ἡ Δίκη
ἐνταῦθά πού ᾿στιν ἐγγύς, εἰ βούλεσθ᾿ ὁρᾶν.

Euripides fr. 506 (from _Melanippe Wise or Captive_) = Stobaeus 1.3.14a.

Thus, since you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I intend to vomit you from my mouth.

οὕτως, ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ καὶ οὔτε ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός, μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου.
(Rev. 3.16)

Where it is not possible to say freely what is best,
and the worse wins out in the city,
errors lay low salvation.

ὅπου δὲ μὴ τἄριστ᾿ ἐλευθέρως λέγειν
ἔξεστι, νικᾷ δ᾿ ἐν πόλει τὰ χείρονα,
ἁμαρτίαι σφάλλουσι τὴν σωτηρίαν.
(Soph. fr. 201b;Stob 4.1.7)

Do not kick against the pricks with your naked feet:
since you won’t harm them in any way
by wounding yourself and causing your own grief.

St. Kassiani

Πρὸς κέντρα μὴ λάκτιζε γυμνοῖς ποσί σου·
ἐπεὶ τὰ κέντρα μηδαμῶς καταβλάψας
σαυτὸν τρώσειας καὶ πόνον ὑποστήσῃ.
