Being, be bold and venture to be wise.
Little folks become their little fate.
The common people are but ill judges of a man's merits; they are slaves to fame, and their eyes are dazzled with the pomp of titles and large retinue. No wonder, then, that they bestow their honors on those who least deserve them.
To grow a philosopher's beard.
No master can make me swear blind obedience.
A good scare is worth more than good advice.
