Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything.
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.
Your birthday is the vintage of your wine; the mark that warns you of your future.
All of us, the great and the little have need of each other.
If you are a friend, why do you bite me so hard? If an enemy, why do you fawn on me?
