For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

If silence is good for the wise, how much better is it for the foolish!

However bad a man, he will have some friends: however good, he will have some enemies.

As long as I fear my weakness, I am stronger than when I trust my strength.

Better to deserve praise without having it, than to have it without deserving it.

What we know is to what we do not know, as a grain of sand is to the beach.

It needs as much generosity to take as to give.
