Too few rejoice at a friend's good fortune.
The best by far is to marry in one's own rank.
Fear is stronger than arms.
If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.
Search well and be wise, nor believe that self-willed pride will ever be better than good counsel.
Everyone, to those weaker than themselves, is kind.
