It is in adversity that the good show their friendship most clearly; prosperity always finds friends.
Bodies devoid of mind are as statues in the market place.
Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue too passes current all over the world.
An ally need not own the land he helps.
Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head.
This is what it means to be a slave; to be abused and bear it; compelled by violence to suffer wrong.
