He that has satisfied his thirst turns his back on the well.

A prudent man will think more important what fate has conceded to him, than what it has denied.

Superiority is always detested.

There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled.

He who finds Fortune on his side should go briskly ahead, for she is wont to favor the bold.
