Your worst enemy Becomes your best friend, once he's underground.
It is in adversity that the good show their friendship most clearly; prosperity always finds friends.
This is what it means to be a slave; to be abused and bear it; compelled by violence to suffer wrong.
Rightness of judgment is bitterness to the heart.
Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.
Love must not touch the marrow of the soul. Our affections must be breakable chains that we can cast them off or tighten them.
