Adversity tests the sincerity of friends
Appearances often are deceiving.
The strong and the weak cannot keep company.
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hidden.
Our insignificance is often the cause of our safety.
Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.
