The wise man avoids evil by anticipating it. |
The wounds of love can only be healed by the one who made them. |
There are men steady and wise whose body, words and mind are self-controlled. They are the men of supreme self-control. |
There are not many things in life so beautiful as true friendship, and not many things more uncommon. |
There are some remedies worse than the disease |
There is no fruit which is not bitter before it is ripe |
There is no safety in regaining the favor of an enemy |
They do injury to the good who spares the bad. |
They live ill who expect to live always |
Those who have never tried the experiment of a holy life measure the laws of God, not by their intrinsical goodness, but by the reluctancy and opposition which they find in their hearts |
To accept a benefit is to sell one's freedom |
To confess a fault freely is the next thing to being innocent of it |
To dispute with a drunkard is to debate with an empty house |
To do two things at once is to do neither. |
To lose a friend is the greatest of all losses. |
