Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change; all yields its place and goes; to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs.
Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.
Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue too passes current all over the world.
There is no evil as terrible as a woman.
A second wife is hateful to the children of the first; A viper is not more hateful.
Who cannot open an honest mind No friend will he be of mine.
