Slow but steady wins the race.
Fools take to themselves the respect that is given to their office.
We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.
You may share the labors of the great, but you will not share the spoil.
He who incites to strife is worse than he who takes part in it.
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.
