Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.

Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun.

Your brain is much better than you think; just use it!

When counting, try not to mix chickens with blessings.

Wherever good fortune enters, envy lays siege to the place and attacks it; and when it departs, sorrow and repentance remain behind.

Supreme happiness will be the greatest cause of misery, and the perfection of wisdom the occassion of folly.

He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
