The man who is fortunate in his choice of son-in-law gains a son; the man unfortunate in his choice loses his daughter also.

The brave man is not only he who overcomes the enemy, but he who is stronger than pleasures.

Tis hard to fight with anger but the prudent man keeps it under control.

Fortune provides a man's table with luxuries, virtue with only a frugal meal.

All things happen by virtue of necessity.

Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.

The offender, who repents, is not yet lost.
