VALERIUS MAXIMUS Roman historian (c. 1st century) I would appeal to Philip, she said, but to Philip sober.   [Lat., Provocarem ad Phillippum, inquit, sed sobrium.]       - bk. VI, II, ext. 1 [Drinking] He (Solon) considered that no one ought to be called happy as long as he was alive.   [Lat., Neminem, dum adhuc viveret, beatum dici debere arbitrabatur.]       - bk. VII, 2, ext. 2 [Happiness] He [Xenocrates] said that he had often repented speaking, but never of holding his tongue.   [Lat., Dixisse me, inquit, aliquando poentuit, tacuisse nunquam.]       - bk. VII, 2, ext. 7 [Silence] The divine wrath is slow indeed in vengeance, but it makes up for its tardiness by the severity of the punishment.   [Lat., Lento quidem gradu ad vindictam divina procedit ira, sed tarditatem supplicii gravitate compensat.]       - I, 1, 3 [Retribution] The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
