What greater evil could you wish a miser, than long life?.

You should go to a pear tree for pears, not to an elm..

How happy the life unembarrassed by the cares of business!.

In excess altercation, truth is lost..

We may escape misfortune for a while, but the evil day will come..

We tolerate without rebuke the vices with which we have grown familiar..

It is an unhappy lot which finds no enemies..

Other people's things are more pleasing to us, and ours to other people. -Aliena nobis, nostra plus aliis placent.

He is foolish to blame the sea that is shipwrecked twice..

Audacity augments courage; hesitation, fear..

He is twice a conqueror, who can restrain himself in the hour of triumph..

Even a god finds it hard to love and be wise at the same time. -Amare et sapere vix deo conceditur.

A wise man never refuses anything to necessity..

Even when we get what we wish, it is not ours..

I have often regretted having spoken, never having kept silent..

Well does he sleep who knows not that his sleep has been broken..

The circumstances of others seem good to us, while ours seem good to others..

There is no medicine to cure hatred..

He who injures one man threatens many..

The eyes see not what is before them when the mind is intent on other matters..

At daybreak, when loath to rise, have this thought in thy mind: I am rising for a man's work..
