To refuse graciously is to confer a favor. |
Treat your friend as if he might become an enemy |
Valor grows by daring, fear by holding back. |
We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frogs. |
We desire nothing so much as what we ought not to have |
We die as often as we lose a friend. |
We tolerate without rebuke the vices with which we have grown familiar |
What is left when honor is lost? |
When Fortune flatters, she does it to betray |
When reason rules, money is a blessing |
When you are at sea, keep clear of the land |
When you confer a benefit on those worthy of it, you confer a favor on all. |
Where there is unity there is always victory. |
While we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity. |
You are in a pitiable condition if you have to conceal what you wish to tell. |
