Modesty once lost, never returns into favour..

A small debt produces a debtor; a large one, an enemy..

They pass peaceful lives who ignore mine and thine..

He who gets the better of an irascible temperament conquers his worst enemy..

A sly piece of good luck, which nobody knows of is delightful..

There are men steady and wise whose body, words and mind are self-controlled. They are the men of supreme self-control..

There is no fortune so good that you can find nothing in it to complain of..

When you confer a benefit on those worthy of it, you confer a favor on all..

It is a good thing to learn caution from the misfortunes of others..

A guilty conscience never feels secure..

Let your life be pleasing to the multitude, and it can not be so to yourself..

Every question does not deserve an answer..

Every rumor is believed against the unfortunate..

You should hammer your iron when it is glowing hot..

The bow too tensely strung is easily broken..

The loss which is unknown is no loss at all..

Death laughs when old women frolic..

The evil you do to others you may expect in return..

Pardon others often, thyself never..

No one knows what it is that he can do until he tries..

Every accusation against a fallen man gains credence..
