The master is a slave when he fears those whom he rules..

Fortune is like glass - the brighter the glitter, the more easily broken..

It is easier to add to a great reputation than to get it..

It's a bad plan that can't be changed..

One day treats us like a hireling nurse, another like a mother..

Confession of our faults is the next thing to innocence..

Pain of mind is worse than pain of body..

The prompter the refusal, the less the disappointment..

A good reputation is more valuable than money..

Confidence, like the soul, never returns whence it has once departed.

Alas how difficult is it to preserve a high reputation!.

The hope of reward is the solace of labor..

The sweetest pleasure arises from difficulties overcome..

Divide the fire, and you will the sooner put it out..

A homely woman is one of the most comely of apes..

That should be considered long which can be decided but once..

It is folly to fear what cannot be avoided..

Frugality is misery in disguise..

We must give lengthy deliberation to what has to be decided once and for all..

Money does not sate Avarice, but stimulates it..

It is only the ignorant who despise education..
