Beware that you do not lose the substance by grasping at the shadow |
Destroy the seed of evil, or it will grow up to your ruin. |
Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. |
Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency. |
Enemies' promises were made to be broken |
Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either |
Example is the best precept. |
Familiarity breed contempt. |
Fools take to themselves the respect that is given to their office. |
Gratitude is the sign of noble souls |
He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own. |
He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another |
I am sure the grapes are sour. |
I will have naught to do with a man who can blow hot and cold with the same breath |
If you allow men to use you for your own purposes, they will use you for theirs. |
