Life is short, but its ills make it seem long |
Life itself is short, but lasts longer than misfortunes. |
Look for a tough wedge for a tough log |
Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it. |
Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it. |
Money alone sets all the world in motion |
Necessity gives the law, but does not itself submit to it |
Necessity knows no law except to conquer |
Never find your delight in another's misfortune |
Never promise more than you can perform. |
Never thrust your sickle into another's corn |
No man is happy who does not think himself so |
No one ever lost his honor, except he who had it not. |
No one knows what he can do till he tries |
No one reaches a high position without daring. |
