For the impious act begets more after it, like to the parent stock.

You shall learn, though late, the lesson of how to be discreet.

Human prosperity never rests but always craves more, till blown up with pride it totters and falls. From the opulent mansions pointed at by all passers-by none warns it away, none cries, 'Let no more riches enter!'.

The tongue of slander is too prompt with wanton malice to wound the stranger.

He hears but half who hears one party only.

Be bold and boast, just like the cock beside the hen.

Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.
