A good scare is worth more than good advice.
The ear of the bridled horse is in the mouth.
What does it avail you, if of many thorns only one be removed.
They change their sky, not their mind, who cross the sea. A busy idleness possesses us: we seek a happy life, with ships and carriages: the object of our search is present with us.
Don't carry logs into the forest.
Seize the day, and put the least possible trust in tomorrow.
