The majority is wicked.
What is man's greatest bane? His brother man alone.
He who will lose a present good for one in expectation hath some wit, but a small store of wisdom.
Hear much; speak little.
Monarch, thou wishest to cover thyself with glory; be the first to submit to the laws of thy empire.
Make wisdom your provision for the journey from youth to old age, for it is a more certain support than all other possessions.
