Begin whatever you have to do: the beginning of a work stands for the whole.
He who does not know how to be silent will not know how to speak.
If you are dreaded by many then beware of many.
Every stage of life has its troubles, and no man is content with his own age.
If lucky be not proud; if unlucky, do not despond.
Be not arrogant when fortune smiles, or dejected when she frowns.
