Cunning grows in deceit at seeing itself discovered, and tries to deceive with truth itselft.

One who was abhorred by all in prosperity is adored by all in adversity.

There must be something good in a thing that pleases so many; even if it cannot be explained, it is certainly enjoyed.

We have more days to live through than pleasures. Be slow in enjoyment, quick at work, for men see work ended with pleasure, pleasure ended with regret.

Hope has a good memory, gratitude a bad one.

Take care to make things turn out well. Some people scruple more over pointing things in the right direction than over successfully reaching their goals. The disgrace of failure outweighs the diligence they showed. A winner is never asked for explanations.

Passion colors all that it touches in its own hues.
