He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
They who prosper take on airs of vanity.
For children preserve the fame of a man after his death.
From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.
Oaths are not the credit of men but men of oaths.
