It is easy to be brave from a safe distance..

Evil wishes, like chickens, come home to roost..

A word in season is most precious..

Labour is the source of every blessing..

Don't put off for tomorrow what you should do today..

Implementation beats oration..

Obscurity often brings safety..

Evil companions bring more hurt than profit..

Better one safe way than a hundred on which you cannot reckon..

The value is in the worth, not in the number..

Zeal should not outrun discretion..

It pays to be prepared..

It is useless attacking the insensible..

Plodding wins the race..

If you are wise you won't be deceived by the innocent airs of those whom you have once found to be dangerous..

It is possible to have too much of a good thing..

We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified..

The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over..

A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth..

The unhappy derive comfort from the misfortunes of others..

Obscurity brings safety..
