There's nothing sweeter than a real friend: Not only is he prompt to lend— An angler delicate, he fishes The very deepest of your wishes, And spares your modesty the task His friendly aid to ask. A dream, a shadow, wakes his fear, When pointing at the object dear.

Rely only on yourself; it is a common proverb.

The good, we do it; the evil, that is fortune; man is always right, and destiny always wrong.

Help yourself, and Heaven will help you.

Religious contention is the devil's harvest.

To hell with pleasure that's haunted by fear.

The argument of the strongest is always the best.
