Those who covet much suffer from the want.

Avoid inquisitive persons, for they are sure to be gossips, their ears are open to hear, but they will not keep what is entrusted to them.

Once sent out, a word takes wings beyond recall.

There are as many preferences as there are men.

The brave are born from the brave and good. In steers and in horses is to be found the excellence of their sire; nor do savage eagles produce a peaceful dove.

Drop the question of what tomorrow may bring, and count as profit every day that Fate allows you.

It is sweet to let the mind unbend on occasion.
