Too rigid scruples are concealed pride.

Sceptics are yet the most credulous.

No matter what one says, you can recognize only those matters that are equal to you. Only rulers who possess extraordinary abilities will recognize and esteem properly extraordinary abilities in their subjects and servants.

Perseverance is a silent power that grows irresistibly greater with time.

Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.

Only the heart without a stain knows ease.
