Adversity reveals the genius of a general; good fortune conceals it.
Who has self-confidence will lead the rest.
Enjoy in happiness the pleasures which each hour brings with it.
Ridicule often cuts the knot, where severity fails.
The foolish are like ripples on water, For whatsoever they do is quickly effaced; But the righteous are like carvings upon stone, For their smallest act is durable.
The dispute is still before the judge.
