Only one in command: that's the way in the home And the way in the state when it must find Measures best for mankind.
Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own: [I hate a sage who is not wise for himself]
They who are sad find somehow sweetness in tears.
To the fool, he who speaks wisdom will sound foolish.
Give a wise man an honest brief to plead and his eloquence is no remarkable achievement.
The stillest tongue can be the truest friend.
