Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
Rather suffer than die is man's motto.
One often has need of one inferior to himself.
In every trouble the little ones duck more easily.
The argument of the strongest is always the best.
Anyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people.
