Everyone asks if a man is rich, no one if he is good.
The man that isn't jolly after drinking is just a drivelling idiot, to my thinking.
Those who are held Wise among men and who search the reasons of things, are those who bring the most sorrow on themselves.
The gift of a bad man can bring no good.
In misfortune, which friend remains a friend?
Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love.
