Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hidden.
He who incites to strife is worse than he who takes part in it.
What a splendid head, yet no brain.
If you wish me well, do not stand pitying me, but lend me some succour as fast as you can; for pity is but cold comfort when one is up to the chin in water, and within a hair's breadth of starving or drowning.
Good things come in small packages.
False friends leave you in times of trouble.
