Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.

What is denominated discretion in man we call cunning in brutes.

Everyone calls himself a friend, but only a fool relies on it; nothing is commoner than the name, nothing rarer than the thing.

What God does, He does well.

By time and toil we sever What strength and rage could never.

Better to suffer than to die.

Patience and perseverance at lengthAccomplish more than anger or brute strength.
