He is truly wise who gains wisdom from another's mishap |
He knows not when to be silent who knows not when to speak |
He must fear many whom many fear |
He sleeps well who knows not that he sleeps ill |
He who flees from trial confesses his guilt |
He who has a mind to do mischief will always find a pretense |
He who has lost honor can lose nothing more. |
He who helps the guilty shares the crime |
He who lies hid in remote places is a law unto himself |
He who lives in solitude may make his own laws. |
He who lives only for himself is truly dead to others |
He who spares the bad injures the good. |
He who yields to his times acts wisely |
He whom many fear, has himself many to fear. |
How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself. |
