Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.
Too few rejoice at a friend's good fortune.
The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.
It is the nature of mortals to kick a fallen man.
In war the first casualty is the truth.
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
