Prodigious actions may as well be done, by weaver's issue, as the prince's son.
A thing well said will be wit in all languages.
Bets at first were fool-traps, where the wise like spiders lay in ambush for the flies.
The secret pleasure of a generous act Is the great mind's great bribe.
Happy the man, and happy he alone, he, who can call today his own.
Courage from hearts and not from numbers grows.
