Unless you make allowances for your friends foibles, you betray your own..

The weeping of an heir is laughter in disguise..

It matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are..

Life is short, but its ills make it seem long..

Past happiness augments present wretchedness..

It is time, not the mind, that puts an end to love..

Speech is the mirror of the soul..

Cruelty isn't softened by tears; it feeds on them..

Observation, not old age, brings wisdom..

Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage..

The end always passes judgement on what has gone before..

That delay is our surest protection which enables us to deliberate on the merits of our intentions..

Never promise more than you can perform..

Any plan is bad which is incapable of modification..

Money should be mastered, not served..

No one should be judge in his own case..

What valor cannot win, flattery may..

Unless you bear with the faults of a friend you betray your own..

When the bad imitate the good, there is no knowing what mischief is intended..

Keep the golden mean between saying too much and too little..

Mighty rivers can easily be leaped at their source..
