Patience et longueur de temps Font plus que force ni que rage. Patience and longevity Are worth more than force and rage.
Cats know not how to pardon.
Often we find our own destiny on the same roads that we have been avoiding.
From a distance it is something; and nearby it is nothing.
Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.
Better a living beggar than a buried emperor.
