Know what is evil, no matter how worshipped it may be. Let the man of sense not mistake it, even when clothed in brocade, or at times crowned in gold, because it cannot thereby hide its hypocrisy, for slavery does not lose its infamy, however noble the master.
Not he that adorns but he that adores makes a divinity.
A brand new mediocrity is thought more of than accustomed excellence.
Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.
Know or listen to those who know.
He that has satisfied his thirst turns his back on the well.
