All men are more concerned to recover what they lose than to acquire what they lack.
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.

United we stand, divided we fall.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
If you are a friend, why do you bite me so hard? If an enemy, why do you fawn on me?
