One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
I care for riches, to make gifts To friends, or lead a sick man back to health With ease and plenty. Else small aid is wealth For daily gladness; once a man be done With hunger, rich and poor are all as one.
Danger gleams like sunshine to a brave man's eyes.
It is the wise man's part to leave in darkness everything that is ugly.
Nothing's as good as holding on to safety.
Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err.
