When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.
Often a noble face hides filthy ways.
We look for good on earth and cannot recognize it when met.
Nothing's as good as holding on to safety.
What can we take on trust in this uncertain life? Happiness, greatness, pride - nothing is secure, nothing keeps.
Give a wise man an honest brief to plead and his eloquence is no remarkable achievement.
