Better to starve free than be a fat slave
All of us, the great and the little have need of each other.
The hero is brave in deeds as well as words.
Every man carries two bags about him, one in front and one behind, and both are full of faults. The bag in front contains his neighbors' faults, the one behind his own. Hence it is that men do not see their own faults, but never fail to see those of others.
Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.
False friends leave you in times of trouble.
