The best man of all is he who knows everything himself. Good also the man who accepts another's sound advice; but the man who neither knows himself nor takes to hear what another says, he is no good at all.

Men must sweat to attain virtue.

Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.

Try to take for a mate a person of your own neighborhood.

The fool knows after he has suffered.

Peace is a nursing mother to the land.

The man who does evil to another does evil to himself, and the evil counsel is most evil for him who counsels it.
