He who finds Fortune on his side should go briskly ahead, for she is wont to favor the bold.
The wise are always impatient, for he that increases knowledge increases impatience of folly.
The happy are an exception who enjoy innocently their simple happiness.
Aspire rather to be a hero than merely appear one.
A man is judged by his friends, for the wise and the foolish have never agreed.
Fortune soon tires of carrying anyone long on her shoulders.
