If you are wise you won't be deceived by the innocent airs of those whom you have once found to be dangerous.
If we really want something done, it is best to do it ourselves.
We learn from the things we suffer.
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.
Persuasion is better than force.
The cat always leaves a mark on his friend.
