The smile that illumines the features of beauty, When kindled by virtue, alluring appears; But smiles, tho' alluring, no magic can borrow, To vie wit….
He who knows himself best esteems himself least..

A soldier is he whose blood makes the glory of the general..
Two blacks make no white; two wrongs do not make a right..

The lawyer's pouch is a mouth of hell..
If you would wish the dog to follow you, feed him.
A young trooper should have an old horse..
Every potter praises his own pot..
