If lucky be not proud; if unlucky, do not despond.

Begin whatever you have to do: the beginning of a work stands for the whole.

It often happens, that misery will follow a marriage when the dowry is too large.

If you are dreaded by many then beware of many.

If lucky be not proud; if unlucky, do not despond.

No man will revel long in the indulgence of crime.
