War is sweet to those who haven't tasted it. Dulce bellum inexpertis.

The highest form of bliss is living with a certain degree of folly

The more ignorant, reckless and thoughtless a doctor is, the higher his reputation soars even amongst powerful princes.

Ask a wise man to dinner and he'll upset everyone by his gloomy silence or tiresome questions. Invite him to a dance and you'll have a camel prancing about. Haul him off to a public entertainment and his face will be enough to spoil the people's entertainment.

Concealed talent brings no reputation.

Our determination to imitiate Christ should be such that we have no time for other matters.
